JavaScript Function Parameter - Syntax Error

Question

This code is working fine. But, I just want to remove variable url in third line and write direct www.google.com. Need corrected syntax of below code please. Quotes are so messy! I know there is just a little mistake. But didn't figure out.

website: function() {
var url = 'www.google.com';             
this.echo('<a onclick="openHTTP(\''+url+'\')"  href=""> My Website </a>', {raw:true});

this.echo? i am confused. Please paste full code along with expected outcome — Death-is-the-real-truth

You'll want to only replace the delimiting quotations (those ending and starting string literals) as well as +url+.

this.echo('<a onclick="openHTTP(\'www.google.com\')"  href=""> My Website </a>', {raw:true});

Noting that your current snippet concatenates 2 literals with the variable:

'<a onclick="openHTTP(\''
'\')" href=""> My Website </a>'

The escaped quotations should be kept for the client-side code. They'll allow the browser to understand www.google.com as a string literal. The \ will be removed by the parser, so the output includes:

<a onclick="openHTTP('www.google.com')"  href="">
