As you can see the value of the @AR attribute has a single quote. This is causing me a lot of problems when I use xslt to call a javascript function passing the parameters.

I was wondering if someone could help me to find a solution for that.

Here is an XSLT 2.0 function that escapes four characters as needed for JavaScript string literals:

  <xsl:function name="my:escape" as="xs:string">
    <xsl:param name="s" as="xs:string"/>
    <xsl:sequence
      select="replace(
                replace(
                  replace(
                    replace($s, &quot;'&quot;, &quot;\\'&quot;),
                    '&quot;',
                    '\\&quot;'
                  ),
                  '\r',
                  '\\r'
                ),
                '\n',
                '\\n'
              )"/>
  </xsl:function>

You can the use it as e.g.
  '<xsl:value-of select="my:escape(@AR)"/>'
