slideshow doesn´t work, if you use an apostroph in subtitles

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you use an apostroph in the picture subtitle, after this moment slideshow 
doesn't starts. Slideshow loads the first picture of the show  only.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
browser?

I use slideshow with contao cms. Windows XP, Firefox 3.6

So there are technical differences between an apostrophe (’) and  a 
single-quote ('). Slideshow / Javascript has no problem with apostrophes - 
though you'll need to use their unicode value. You write unicode with backslash 
(\) + u + unicode value. The unicode value of apostrophe is 2019. So in your 
subtitle do:

'Apostrophe\u2019s are cool!'

Here is a table with unicode values:

If you really mean a single-quote not an apostrophe, then you can do 1 of 2 
things. If you are using single-quotes to wrap your subtitle, switch to 
double-quotes:

'the single-quote in this subtitle will break javascript because it thinks 
you've ended the string'

to:

"but if you switch to double-quote it won't have any problem"

Or escape the single-quote with a backslash:

'this also won\'t be a problem'
