 If you have an apostrophe in your first name, last name or nickname then
 tabbing between (or focusing/blurring) those fields on your user profile
 page throws a JavaScript error. The result is that the dropdown menu for
 selecting your display name doesn't get populated correctly.

 JS error seen in Firefox 3.6:

 {{{
 uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognised expression: value=O'Hare]
 }}}

 Looks like the expression needs to be escaped and/or enclosed in quotes.
