How do I pass a parameter to a javascript function with ' included

var name =Lauren O'Donald;



var htmlAnch='<a onclick=javascript:selectEmployee(1100,'+name+');return false; 

                 href=javascript:void(0);>O'Donald, Lauren</a>';



 $(document).append($(htmlAnch));

The javascript function is not executing since the name 'Lauren O'Donald' contains single quote.

How can I add a parameter with ' and prepare dynamic html to make it work?

Here is the dynamic code to generate

 var rows = new StringBuffer();



 $(data).each(function(index) {

      rows.append(String.format('<tr><td><a href=No.aspx 

                onclick=javascript:selectEmployee({3},{1} {2});return 

               false;>{0}</a></td></tr>',

                String.format({0}, {1}, this.Surname, this.FirstName),

                this.Surname,

                this.FirstName,

                this.Id

            ));

   });
