Single quote in URLs

Having a single in your URL will cause mmenu.js to error.

Simple to reproduce, just take the menu_array.js from the standard menu.zip and change:
,"CNN","http://www.cnn.com",,,0

to:
,"CNN","http://www.cnn.com?hello='world'",,,0

you don't need the single quote in the query trying, but, what i have found is this:



will at least not throw the error that you might normally run across, but the option will no longer work as a link. why this happens i would love to know. replacing a ' with a \' will normally fix the errors, but in this case, it does not.

the only workaround i've found is to replace single quotes with curly quotes (`) and a regex doesn't work with replacing in the array or with in the mmenu.js file.
