Escaping string parameters in Django templates for a JavaScript function

Question

I have a JavaScript function which returns a set of objects:

return Func("{{id}}", "{{name}}")

I have a problem with passing strings containing quotes, for instance "Dr.Seuss' "ABC""BOOk"" is invalid syntax.

I tried {{name|safe}} but to no avail. Any solution for this?

If I'm right in assuming that's a JavaScript function call you're trying to interpolate Django templating into, try the escapejs filter instead of safe.

I was looking for that for one hour... How happens that for me (like the OP), the escape tag didn't escape the quote/double quote like his example of : "Dr.Seuss' "ABC""BOOk"" ?
