Escape double quotes

I am using a reqular HTML input textbox. (I do not want to use an apex:inputfield)

My code is like this: <input type="text"value="{!object.field}" />

However if field has a double quote in it instead of generating <input type="text"value="somevalue " foo" />

It generates <input type="text"value="somevalue" foo="" /> in Firefox

Howcan I escape/replace " so that the HTML element is rendered with the correct value.

In the end I had to call JSENCODE to do what i wanted.
