No, that doesn't fix it. It needs to be encoded. It just needs to be encoded as "Dan\'s Test" or even as "Dan\'s" but not as "Dan's". The problem is that the brower converts ' back to a single quote early on in the game, and then the single quote prematurely ends the string I am trying to pass to the Javascript method, which causes a Javascript exception. Thanks, Dan
