Function Escape(String)String Escapes known characters on Strings so they can be safely used in Javascript.

Example

<%
dim my_string
my_string = "Is this a 'safe string' for Javascript (y/n)?"
response.write "<script language='javascript'>"
response.write "window.alert('" & Escape(my_string) & "');"
response.write "</script>"
' this will display a Javascript alert message.
' If you don't use the Escape() function you'll get a Javascript error.
%>
