HTML script not working

Can someone please explain why am I not getting this alert message when clicked on the button? I just started learning HTML and this is the code given in my book which is supposed to work but it is not working when i execute it. What is the problem? I am using Mozilla Firefox Beta version.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
    <title>This is a test page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>This is a test Paragraph</h1>
    <button type="button"
    onclick="alert('You've clicked me.')">Click me!</button>
</body>

You need to change line

onclick="alert('You've clicked me.')">Click me!</button>

to

onclick="alert('You\'ve clicked me.')">Click me!</button>

You have a syntax error. You need to escape the apostrophe in "you've".

alert('You\'ve clicked me.')
