Question

allSearchResults[0]="<li><a href="CXS101289/"> CXS101289/</a></li>";

It shall be quotation marks where the currently are.

Answer 1

Two ways ^{times two}

1. mix single and double quotes:

   // single outside, double inside quotes
   allSearchResults[0] = '<li><a href="CXS101289/">CXS101289/</a></li>';
   

   or

   // double outside, single inside quotes
   allSearchResults[0] = "<li><a href='CXS101289/'>CXS101289/</a></li>";
   

2. use one set of quotes but escape inside ones:

   // double escaped quotes
   allSearchResults[0] = "<li><a href=\"CXS101289/\">CXS101289/</a></li>";
   

   or

   // single escaped quotes
   allSearchResults[0] = '<li><a href=\'CXS101289/\'>CXS101289/</a></li>';
   

First approach with mixing is usually easier, because it presents less work since you only have to change the opening and closing quote.
