Description

First off, thanks for Click. It's great!

I've run into some minor trouble with attribute, name, id, and field values that contain single-quote (') characters. Since the toString wraps attribute values in single-quotes, attribute values containing single-quotes cause invalid HTML to be emitted in the resulting webpages.

As an expedient to get past my problem at hand, I modified the toString method of TextField to perform a replaceAll("'", "'")) on the getValue call. (Just in case JIRA chokes on the replacement string, it is ampersand-octothorpe-3-9-semicolon.) String.replaceAll is not available in Java 1.3 and earlier, but I don't think this is a problem for Click since the "Building" page specs "1.4 or later".

Please consider making this change for the HTML-emitting toString methods.

Thank you,
