Caution

When indicating the "value" of a form object (radio button, checkbox or text field), these characters cannot be used because they are part of the scripting language: ' "( ) ;:&

To use a single quote or apostrophe as is found in the word don't , enter a backslash before the apostrophe: don\'t

The backslash tells JavaScript to treat the following character, the single quote, as a literal, that is, as nothing more than a quotation mark, and not to treat it as a closing quote.
