Question:

I need to produce HTML from my javascript and want to write a ' (single quote). I know that " is escaped as ampersand-quot;
How can I escape the single quote?

Answer:

The single quote is escaped using its ASCII code, which is 39 decimal.
You can escape it in HTML as ampersand-pound-39;

Use the table below for all ASCII codes.
