    Default Passing Parameters with Single Quote

    I am trying to pass this information to another cfm file. This works fine,
    except when the name has a single quote (ie. Name = Katie's car). What is the
    best way to handle this. Thanks in Advance. <a
    href='test.cfm?name=#name#&amp;number=#number#'></a>
