Link Cell Type with Single quotes


When I try to create a cell with the following everything works fine.

$xml .= "<cell><![CDATA[Browse...^javascript:replaceFile(1)^_self]]></cell>";

But when I try to place single quotes in the string the link does not work properly.

$xml .= "<cell><![CDATA[Browse...^javascript:replaceFile('TEST')^_self]]></cell>";

How can I include single quotes in order to pass a string to my javascript?

"link" eXcell type renders as link (A tag) and href attribute containg action link in to the single quotes. If action link contain single quotes "link" eXcell type will not rendered well. If you need single quotes in the "link" cell better to implement custom eXcell type. Pleasee see more information here http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/articles/Custom_excell_creation.html#grid_cexc

Thanks, I was able to implement double quotes instead using the escape character.

 $xml .= "<cell><![CDATA[Browse...^javascript:replaceFile(\"Test\")^_self]]></cell>";
