Answer 1

To replace all regular quotes with smart quotes, I am using a similar function. You must specify the CharCode as some different computers/browsers default settings may identify the plain characters differently ("",",',').

Using the CharCode with call the ASCII character, which will eliminate the room for error across different browsers, and operating systems. This is also helpful for bilingual use (accents, etc.).

To replace smart quotes with SINGLE QUOTES

function unSmartQuotify(n){
    var name = n;
    var apos = String.fromCharCode(39);
    while (n.indexOf("'") > -1)
        name = name.replace("'" , apos);
    return name;
} 

To find the other ASCII values you may need. Check here.
