I'm outputting values from a database (it isn't really open to public entry, but it is open to entry by a user at the company -- meaning, I'm not worried about [XSS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting)).

I'm trying to output a tag like this:

```
<a href="" onclick="DoEdit('DESCRIPTION');">Click Me</a>

```

DESCRIPTION is actually a value from the database that is something like this:

```
Prelim Assess "Mini" Report

```

I've tried replacing " with \", but no matter what I try, Firefox keeps chopping off my JavaScript call after the space after the word *Assess*, and it is causing all sorts of issues.

I must bemissing the obvious answer, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Anyone care to point out my idiocy?

Here is the entire HTML page (it will be an [ASP.NET](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework) page eventually, but in order to solve this I took out everything else but the problem code)

```
<html>
    <body>
        <a href="#" onclick="DoEdit('Preliminary Assessment \"Mini\"'); return false;">edit</a>
    </body>
</html>

```
