JavaScript - Single Quotes

I'm having with single quotes in JavaScript. I have a table and i want to add a row and keep the onchange event handler, however, the line appears as:

onchange='column_totals('table_test', total, used)'

I cant get this function called and the problem I think is having single quotes with single quotes.

anybody know how i would write this so JavaScript knows that the single quotes all work?

stripslashes()

actually, it should look like this:

onchange="column_totals('table_test', total, used)"

So if I echo that in PHP, it will end up like this:
