Build string, with javascript call & passing parameters

[StrangerInBeijing]

driving me bonkers...keep getting javascript errors no matter what combination of quotes and double quotes I use...

echo "<td><textarea onclick=edit_text('0','$value'); name='".$value."' id='".$value."' class='err_box'></textarea></td>";

instead of using echo, just escape the php code and use html:

?>
<td><textarea onclick="edit_text('0','<?php echo $value; ?>'); name='<?php echo $value; ?>' id='<?php echo $value; ?>' class='err_box'></textarea></td> 
<?php ;
