Comment(by DD32):

 @Denis-de-Bernardy: Correct, In HTML Attributes.

 However, Not in <script> blocks as presented by Viper007Bond.

 However, I think the js_escape() function might be mis-used in this case,
 In that, I thought it was designed for escaping for attribute-usage, much
 like attribute_escape().. though i could be wrong.
