javascript lacks something like an htmlencode to run client side. So you will have to use one of the script libraries. You can try this jQuery solution: http://www.edentity.ca/WhoWeAre/Blog/Easy-Client-Side-html-EncodeDecode-using-jQuery.aspx Or you could simply use a javascript string replace function like the one explained here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_replace.asp. Replace ' with ' or the HTML code you prefer. Reference: http://www.degraeve.com/reference/specialcharacters.php

If you have a HTML string in a variable, then you don't need to put it in quotes:

var varHtml = "<div id='foo'></div>";
$(varHtml);
