Image link in JavaScript

I want to make an image link rather than a text link in JavaScript. I'm very new to JavaScript and I just can't figure out why what I've done isn't working! It would work in HTML.

This works (text link 'close [x]'):

    closeLinkString = "<div class='close'><a href='#' id='close-link' onclick=\"Megadropdowns.closeDropDown(); return false;\">close [x]</a></div>", // this is the close button

But for some reason this doesn't:

    closeLinkString = "<div class='close'><a href='#' id='close-link' onclick=\"Megadropdowns.closeDropDown(); return false;\"><img src="/images/loading.gif"></a></div>", // this is the close button

Can anyone help me out with this?

Any editor with basic colour coding, even your post on this site, would show you immediately that you didn't escape the quotes in the image.

As you can see from SO's syntax highlighting, you need to escape the " in the image tag by using \" instead:

closeLinkString = "<div class='close'><a href='#' id='close-link' onclick=\"Megadropdowns.closeDropDown(); return false;\"><img src=\"/images/loading.gif\"></a></div>"
