problem while passing a list of string to javascript in template

[Everest K.C.]

Hello Everyone,
I have problem while passing a list of string from django views to 
javascript template. The quotation mark gets converted into hex and I 
cannot use it to plot graph using jpplot. I even tried *replace* method of 
javascript to replace the hex to convert to '. 

The codes are as follows:
>From views.py :
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def abc(request):
s1=[1, 5 , 8 , 3]
ticks=["a", "b", "c", "d"]
return render_to_response('abc.html', {'s1':s1, 'ticks':ticks})

>From .html file (of template):
 <script class="code" type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function(){
        $.jqplot.config.enablePlugins = true;
 var s1 ={{ s1 }}
 var ticks ={{ ticks }}
        plot1 = $.jqplot('chart1', [s1], {
            // Only animate if we're not using excanvas (not in IE 7 or IE 
8)..
            animate: !$.jqplot.use_excanvas,
            seriesDefaults:{
                renderer:$.jqplot.BarRenderer,
                pointLabels: { show: true }
            },
            axes: {
                xaxis: {
                    renderer: $.jqplot.CategoryAxisRenderer,
                    ticks: ticks
                }
            },
            highlighter: { show: false }
        });
    
        $('#chart1').bind('jqplotDataClick', 
            function (ev, seriesIndex, pointIndex, data) {
                $('#info1').html('series: '+seriesIndex+', point: 
'+pointIndex+', data: '+data);
            }
        );
    });
</script>

when I view the source of the html file i get {{ ticks }} as
[&#39;a&#39;, &#39;b&#39;, &#39;c&#39;, &#39;d&#39;]
