How to quote a string dynamically in Javascript?

Question

This kinda funny, i want to quote a string value for a function but javascript throws this error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }

This my code

var val = "Testing String";
var table_row = "<tr><td><a href='#' onclick='test('"+val+"')'>Row1</a></td></tr>";

function test( val ){
  alert( val );
}

The table row get created fine with the test function bound well with onClick event. But when i click on the created link i get

`Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }

The Value within the test function should be a quoted string.

Note: If i remove the concatenation of the val string, and pass is as a string like this

table_row = "<tr><td><a href='#' onClick='test(\"Testing String\")' >Row1</a></td>";

... it works

Where am i goofing?

var test = "\"test string\"";
