asp.net – Single Quote in Javascript Param

I have a function that, when clicked, fills in a field of the parent window. In this case, it\’s a name (text) field.

The problem I\’m having is if the field has a single quote in it (ex. Bill\’s Chili) the function fails because it reads the single quote as the end of the parameter.

Here is the call:

href=\"javascript:selectItem(\'recipe\',\'recipe_name\',\'<recipe_description\')\"

Again, if the name is Bill\’s Chili, it causes a syntax error.

Is there a way to automatically convert that single quote to the HTML equivalent so it will read properly?

Thanks
