Escape quotes in JavaScript

Question

I\'m outputting values from a database (it isn\'t really open to public entry, but it is open to entry by a user at the company -- meaning, I\'m not worried about XSS).

Answer 1

I have done a sample one using jQuery

var descr = 'test"inside"outside';
$(function(){
   $("#div1").append('Click Me');       
});

function DoEdit(desc)
{
    alert ( desc );
}

And this works in Internet Explorer and Firefox.
