Escape quotes

I have a button in asp.net VB that uses an onmouseover to send a text string to a function...

onmouseover="CallFunction(<%# Eval("ProductID") %>,replaceQuotes('<%# Eval("ProductName") %>'),1);return false;"

Notice I am passing a text string from the table field as the second parameter in the CallFunction. However, if that text string happens to have an apostrophe/single quote or a double quote, I want to call the replaceQuotes function to escape the quotes.

My replaceQuotes function looks like this:

function replaceQuotes(stringPhrase)
{
<!--
stringPhrase.replace("\"","&quot;");
stringPhrase.replace("\'","\\\'");
return stringPhrase;
//-->
}

However, it still errors and does not seem to escape the apostrophe.

Here is the error:
missing ) after argument list
[Break on this error] CallFunction(4,replaceQuotes('Chef Anton's Cajun Seasoning'),1);return false;

What am I missing?

thanks.
