JS + JSTL + HTML and escaping for double quotes

[Tina Desai]

We are uing a for each loop of JSTL for creating the TRs in a HTML Table.
We have the following code for generating the on click of each TR based on data:

'javascript:alert("before");process( this,"<c :-o	 ut value="${item.id}"/>","<c :-o	 ut value="${status.count-1}"/>","<c :-o	 ut value='${item.name}'/>");alert("after");'

The trouble is when the name value contains double quotes, the process method is not getting called at all.

Also though the

 c :-o	 ut 

is putting the unicode value of the double quote, for some unknown reason Im getting "expected ')' " when the page loads.

Any suggestions how I can overcome this issue.
