# Bug: Javascript Execution Error

 * There is a javascript execution error related to _$selector\_js _and _$title\
   _js_ in _hpt\_hptheadinsert()_
 * For example: “echo esc_js( $title_js )” emits quotes as “"Page Title"”
   which results in invalid javascript when assigning a value to _var titleText_
 * Emitting _$title\_js_ without a call to _esc\_js()_ results in valid javascript.
 * Tested only with Firefox.
