Escaping Single Quote (apostrophe )

[Sam Kumar]

Hi,
I am trying to escape single-quote but I am getting javascript error.
Here is the HTML:
<A HREF="javascript:submitForm('SINGLEQUOTE_TEST','Single'Quote');">SingleQuote-Escape Test</A>
<BR><BR>
<script language="javascript">
function submitForm(a, id){
alert(a);
alert(id);
}
</script>
On clicking the link, I am getting following error:
Line 1, Char 31, Expected ')'
Here actual string is
Single'Quote
and I am replacing single quote with ' i.e.
Single'Quote
Any ideas why I am getting javascript error!
Thanks in advance!

Oops javaranch replaced "'" with ' while posting. I am puting extra space to avoid conversion.
Here is the HTML:
<A HREF="javascript:submitForm('SINGLEQUOTE_TEST','Single& #039;'Quote');"> SingleQuote-Escape Test</A>
<BR><BR>
<script language="javascript">
function submitForm(a, id){
alert(a);
alert(id);
}
</script>
Here actual string is
Single'Quote
and I am replacing single quote with & # 039; ' i.e.
Single& # 039;Quote
(Ignore extra space)

Thanks in advance!

the center apos is causeing the error in 'Single'Quote'
You can do it either
'Single\'Quote'
or
'Single'Quote'

<A HREF="javascript:submitForm('SINGLEQUOTE_TEST','Single&#039;'Quote');">
THis line still has the ' in it afer the &#039;
that is the reason why the error appears
