How do i do javascript with ASP.NET?

[baylor]

i have an ASP.NET application that displays confirmation prompts using
javascript. The text of these messages comes from a string resource file. The
script is attached to the button. Code is similar to this:

btn_resetPasswo rd.Attributes.A dd("OnClick",
"javascript:ret urn dConfirm('" + confirmationMes sage + "')");

This works great unless the message contains an apostrophe. User a word like
"user's" and the routine never runs. No error (other than a browser
notification of "unexpected )"), just doesn't run

We have tried used \, html encoding, double quotes and doubling up the
apostrophe. None of it works. Using the \ does work if we take it out of C#
and put it in a separate javascript file but if we do that we no longer have
access to our string resource file so that's not going to fly

There's got to be a way to do this (i'm an eternal optimist) but we're run
out of ideas as to how

Replace apostrophe with \\' like below..it will work fine..
confirmationMes sage.Replace("' ","\\'")

Yup, that did it. In retrospect, i feel dumb for not thinking of this. Thanks!
