How do I deal with apostrophe in user name while passing variable to JavaScript?

I pass a variable of Current User to a javascript page.  It works fine unless the name includes an apostrophe (O'Neil). 

The formula includes: "var Cuser = '" & URLEncode(User()) & "';" & 

How would I change this to not error out if name includes an apostrophe? 

BTW the error if user name has an apostrophe is : SCRIPT1004: Expected ';'

Thanks

Try making any of these adjustments to your variable definitions.
