Build a dynamic onclick behavior 1

[LyndonOHRC]

I have an ajax driven form. After a selection is made and the form elements are populated I need to dynamically set the onclick behavior of a div. My approach (if there's an easier way I'm listening) is to set the div's innerHTML to the following:

document.getElementById('DMWinXfer').innerHTML='<span onclick="alert('my message')">Click Here</span>';

Of course that fails because of the quotes... I've been trying to construct the contents but keep getting errors. Usually "Expected )" or "Expected ;". Here is how I thought it would work:

document.getElementById('DMWinXfer').innerHTML='<span onclick=+'"'+'alert('+"'"+'my message+"'"+');'+'"'+'>Click Here</span>';

Thanks in advance

How about actually setting the div's onclick event instead of adding a span to click.

document.getElementById('DMWinXfer').onclick=function(){ alert('My Message')};
