Perhaps you should enclose with double quotes:

<a href=\"javascript:sendDirectMessage('1711838', 'abc')\">

Try this:

$('#results').html('<div class="tweet"><a href="javascript:sendDirectMessage(\'1711838\', \'abc\')">DM</a><hr/></div>');

Answer 3

A:

You forgot to quote your href attribute.

Therefore, it stopped parsing the href's value after the first space.

You need to write the following:

$('#results').html(
"<div class='tweet'><a href=\"javascript:sendDirectMessage('1711838', 'abc')\">DM</a><hr/></div>"
);

The \" creates a " inside a double-quoted string.

Answer 4

+2 A:

The HTML you are trying to generate is invalid (this is your primary problem). Since you are using XHTML, the rules for quoting attributes are simple: attribute values must be quoted. Yours are not.
You are using JavaScript: pseudo URIs
You are using invalid XHTML
You are not using HTML-Compatible XHTML

5. You are including a redundant `<?xml` declaration, which does nothing except trip IE6-7 into Quirks Mode.6. The URL isn't valid even for a `javascript:` pseudo-URL (the space would need encoding to `%20`.7. You're using a javascript: pseudo-URL. David already said that, but I thought it was important enough to mention twice. Use event handlers like `$('a').click(function() { sendDirectMessage(...); return false; });` instead.

5 is covered by 4: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#C_1 , but 6 is a good point.

Answer 5

A:

As Aito says, you need double quotes:

$('#results').html("<div class='tweet'><a href=\"javascript:sendDirectMessage('1711838', 'abc')\">DM</a><hr/></div>");
