JavaScript Errors

Hi Jake,
Thanks for the nice article. I do agree with you that Javascript is the most
cumbersome language of all. It can sometime takes days to find a solution for
certain problems. Cutting the long story short. I am struggling with a similar
javascript error. I have tried debugging and found the cause of problem but for
some reason couldn't find the solution. Please could you shed some light, it
would be great help


I have pasted the Javascript code below


"function chgPM(src) {" + @NewLine +
" var pm = src.options[src.selectedIndex].text;" + @NewLine +
" var path = \'sys_wv?OpenForm&View=" + view + "&Sort=" + sort +
"&Start=1&Count=" + CountNum +
"&Query=\' + pm;" + @NewLine +
" window.location.href = path; }"


This lets users select a name from dropdown list and append the name to the url
as a view search criteria and displays records with this name only. Which works
fine with names which doesn't have ' in them. As soon as it encounters a name
with apostrophe it startts failing and gives out weird error.


Thanks in advance.
