Javascript on click parameter

Question

I am having a situation wherein I wanted to use single quote sign ' inside a parameter.

Below is the code I am trying to work out :

<a onclick="toggle_visibility('Wi O' Prestige Condominiums');"></a>

Due to ' sign it not getting executed. But its necessary for me to use ' sign as it's dynamically coming from other variable

`toggle_visibility('Wi O\' Prestige Condominiums')` or `toggle_visibility("Wi O' Prestige Condominiums")` — Satpal, Jun 23 '17 at 10:46

You could escape the single quote ' using backslash \ :

<a onclick="toggle_visibility('Wi O\' Prestige Condominiums');"></a>

Or toggle the location of single/double quotes :

<a onclick='toggle_visibility("Wi O' Prestige Condominiums");'></a>

Hope this helps.
