Smart Quotes in Dynamic text field

[bwillidesign webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I'm trying to load text into a dynamic text field with a mouseover event using the following function:

_root.populateQuoteStr( '\"I grew up at AT&T Wireless.\"' );

However, I need the quotes around the text to appear as curly or otherwise known as typographer's quotes or smart quotes instead of straight hashes. Any suggestions as to how this works?

Thanks,
b

try urlencoding the quotes,

function populateQuoteStr(txt){
test.html = true;
test.htmlText = unescape(txt);
}
populateQuoteStr( "%22I grew up at AT&T Wireless.%22" ); // %22 - straight hash

i keep a URL Encode Chart on my server for easy reference,
