how to escape a string with XSL?

[Wizfrog]

I see a lot of posts here about output of escaped data, and it seems
like the <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> will do the trick...

but I have the reverse problem:

I have data I want to escape, especially the ' and " characters as i
use the output in a javascript string and those characters just mess
up the code.

is there any easy way to escape the quotes and double quotes?

thanks for help

Check whether your XSLT processor supports EXSLT, then you can use a
function like replace
