    How to embed quote in dynamic IFrame Input element?

    I want to be able to embed a single quote into an INPUT element
    within a dynamically generated IFRAME. The example below
    shows how the IFRAME is generated.

    Challenge: I'd like the alert box to show: Mom said, "Don't"
    instead of the current: Mom said, "Do not".

    The point of the exercise is that I will be passing arbitrary
    strings to the IFRAME and I want to ensure that the final
    string is the same as the original. So I'm interested in dealing
    with all the troublemaker characters.

    Thanks,
    Csaba Gabor from New York

    PS. The point of the alert is to validate that everything
    is copasetic with the IFRAME.



    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
    <HTML><HEAD><TI TLE>IFrame test page</TITLE>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type
    content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
    <SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
    function makeIframe() {
    var iframe = document.create Element("IFRAME ");
    iframe.src = "javascript:'<H TML><HEAD>";
    iframe.src += "<TITLE>Dyn amic IFrame</TITLE>";
    iframe.src += '</HEAD><BODY onLoad="alert(' ;
    iframe.src += 'document.getEl ementById(';
    iframe.src += '&quot;myInput& quot;).value)"> ';
    iframe.src += '<FORM method=get action=dummy.ph p>';
    iframe.src += "<input type=text id=" + "myInput ";
    iframe.src += 'value="Mom said, &quot;Do not&quot;">';
    iframe.src += "</FORM></BODY></HTML>'"
    document.body.a ppendChild(ifra me);
    }
    </SCRIPT>
    </HEAD><BODY style="margin:5 %" onLoad="makeIfr ame()">
    Main Body
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

      A solution to the specific problem is to replace the
      Do not (8 lines before the </HTML>)
      with
      Don\x5Cx27t
