Replace all quotes inside your text variables with their correspondent
HTML entities, then you should face no issues:
titleFull = titleFull.replace("'","‘").replace('"',""");
I agree with Liam, it's best to use single quotes for the strings
passed so you can use double quotes inside them. In XHTML all atribute
values should use double quotes.
