SinbadC A problem with apostrophe in Custom Javascript button
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how I can load a string in Javascript when the variable contains an apostrophe. For example I would like to load oppName with the Opportunity name where the Opportunity name is Bob's Country Bunker Inc. Using var oppName = '{!Opportunity.Name}'; fails. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

Doh! Just found out that if I enclose {!Opportunity.Name} with double quotes instead of single quotes I can read in the string.
Best Regards

Can you post the code? I tried alerting a javascript var which was assigned a field value having a apostrophe and it worked
The following code fails:
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/25.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/25.0/apex.js")}
var s = '{!Opportunity.Name}';
It generates an alert box with the message "A problem with the OnClick JavaScript for this button or link was encountered: Unexpected identifier" if run in Chrome and the error "A problem with the OnClick JavaScript for this button or link was encountered: missing ; before statement" in Firefox.
I have tried using the custom button on several Opportunities and the alert is only generated on Opps that have an apostrophe in the field.
