attribute value and use double quotes.
Or another super hack is to put this text into hidden span under the

[Maybe a little off-topic but I thought you'd be likely to know]
I have page titles which sometimes require single quotes, i.e. "Don't Look Now"
The titles also need to appear in a javascript onClick function like this:
