Given that, like Python, javascript accepts strings either single or
double quoted, you could try using backquotes to escape the
string:
form.select.options[0].text = <dtml-var "`title`">;
should (untested) give you:
form.select.options[0].text = '"Quoted String"';
Provided title is a string, this will escape any quotes and, for that
matter, unprintable characters, and wrap either single or double
quotes round the outside. If title is a method then you need to call
it first: <dtml-var "`title()`">
