javascript confirmation with html character code

Even though it is an entity, javascript still interprets it as a single quote. You still need to make sure you are escaping the entity version of it with a backslash.

Code:

var string = 'ampersand & woot & and &<';
    string = string.replace(/&/gi,'\&');
    alert(string);
