How to write single quotes inside a double quotes in string inputted Html Elements

string mystring == "<input class=\"success\" type=\"button\" id=\"Delegate_New_btn\" value=\"New\" onclick=\"location.href="+mylocation+"'/>";

I have a string like above.

The problem is when I innerHTML it to a div like below, then it shows incorrect syntax error :

document.getElementById("id").innerHTML=mystring;

What I need is :

<input type="button" value"somevalue" onclick="location.href='mylocationurl'"/>

I don't know how to include this single quotes inside a double quotes. I had tried back slash method but I also failed to implement that.

Note : i had define this in my serverside C# and pass it to client side Please help me to solve this.

More information 

VM.Custombuttons_tag = "<td><input class=\"btn btn-mini btn-success\" type=\"button\" id=\"Delegate_New_btn\" value=\"New\" onclick='location.href=\'" + string.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", Request.Url.Scheme, Request.Url.Authority, Url.Content("~")) + "/ABC/Delegate/AssignListUserLevel?PeriodId=0'/></td>";

this is my full code here VM is a method and Custombuttons_tag is string so when ever i run my code it will innerHTML the code to a div and it shows some incorrect syntax error

You can mix-match single and double quotes as long as they are nested properly.

var mystring = '<input class="success" type="button" id="Delegate_New_btn" value="New" onclick="location.href=' + mylocation + '"/>';

You have a few problems here, the first being that you do not use == when assigning variables, and the second being that you need to use var rather than string.

So, your code should look like this: var mystring = "<input class='success' type='button' id='Delegate_New_btn' value='New' onclick='location.href=\'+mylocation+\''/>";

The only time that you need to use \' is if your single quotes are included in single quotes, like you have with the location.href part.

You may want to try something like this ...

var input=document.createElement('input');
input.setAttribute('class','success');
input.setAttribute('type','button');
input.setAttribute('id','Delegate_New_btn');
input.setAttribute('value','New');
input.setAttribute('onclick','location.href="'+mylocation+'"');

document.getElementById('id').appendChild(input);

You do not define a string using string, you define everything using var:

var myString = "I am a string";
var myNumber = 1000;

Java and JavaScript do have their differences!
