Passing quotes to a function in javascript
I am new at javascript.
I'm wanting to pass numeric and text variables to a function that has 7 parameters. One of these parameters is generally a fairly verbose piece of text that can contain apostrophes and quotes.
It appears as though when I use onclick=, I need to surround the infomration in quotes. that's fine except in my largest parameter there is need for many quotes. In the example shown I've used "xxx" for quotes and then my function replaces "xxx" with quotes. However, I'd rather be able to pass regualr quotes or something more identifiable as quotes so that other users can use this function.
The idea of this code is to allow user to click on an image and the onclick event fires a function that opens a popup.

'($350 each) and a classic balloon drop made this party elegantly festive. At xxxmidnightxxx (okay, 8:30 pm), we had a balloon drop, confetti launch ' +

Big Daddy:
This did not work. Thanks for trying.
I'm attaching a simpler version of what I'm trying to try and remove the complexity. I've tried using href="javascript:picwin2()
I did find the sending " works. That's nice to know and may be the only solution. however, I'd love to be able to write text in "english" so it would be easy for a non-programmer to use the function.
