You should create elements using jQuery, which is lot safer that quotes mess and more maintainable.

Here is an example

$('<div />')
    .prop('id', 'dojoUnique1')
    .addClass('dojoDndItem filterName')
    .css({
        "padding" : "0.5em",
        "display" : "inline-block"
    })
    .html("filter_info_ALL_DATA_DOWN")
    .appendTo('#selectedFilters');

You have mis-matched ' delimiting your string. If you use an editor with syntax highlighting errors like this are easy to spot. Try this:

$('<div id="dojoUnique1" class="dojoDndItem filterName" style="padding: .5em; display: inline-block; width: 16em; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom;">filter_info_ALL_DATA_DOWN</div>').appendTo('#selectedFilters');

you are using simple quotes twice in a row... escape quotes:

"$('<div id=dojoUnique1 class=\"dojoDndItem filterName\" style=padding:.5em;display:inline-block;width:16em;overflow:hidden;vertical-align:bottom;>filter_info_ALL_DATA_DOWN</div>').appendTo('#selectedFilters');"
