I have an applescript that uses javascript to take the current selected text in safari, opens a new window, goes to the GD new post form and sets the title and body.

My problem is, if my selected text contains a quote, than the javascript will fail. How do I escape the quotes in javascript.

I'm using the following javascript. Keep in mind it's written to be fired by applescript.

do JavaScript &quot ''+getSelection())" in document 1)

do JavaScript "
document.forms['form2']['title'].value = '" & thename & "' ;
document.forms['form2']['message-text'].value ='" & newselectedText & pageURI & "' ;" in doc

How do I tell javascript to treat +getSelection like string and not text...

Peace and TIA.

If any high post count peeps want the complete applescript... send me a pm.
