Broken javascript

Both Weaver's Web and Tamshi's Imp breaks the javascript to advertise the books we are subscribed to on our website. The javascript provided to users is: [script language="javascript" src="http://www.podiobooks.com/jspb/[username]" type="text/javascript"]

Putting the javascript on a page causes a javascript error, and the script will not load. The problem actually arises from the use of apostrophes in the name.

I'm not sure how podiobooks generates the script, but maybe placing an escape character or removing the apostrophe from the database may fix this problem.

Here's the error code from Internet Explorer for mine:
Line: 8
Char: 134
Error: Expected ")"
Code: 0
URL: [hidden]

This coincides with Tamshi's Imp

Here's a copy of what the script generates:
document.write('
'); document.write('

* ');document.write('The Secret World Chronicle, Book Two: The Hunt by Mercedes Lackey and Steve Libbey
* '); document.write('The Secret World Chronicle, Book One: Invasion by Mercedes Lackey and Steve Libbey
* '); document.write('Infected by Scott Sigler
* '); document.write('The Mask of Tamirella by Dana Davis
* '); document.write('Crescent by Phil Rossi
* '); document.write('Tamshi\`s Imp by Jonathan Fesmire
'); document.write('

I think the \ is supposed to be an escape character, but it isn't working to ignore the apostrophe...
