    When you really have to use inline JavaScript, use different quotes, eg ' or &quot;.
    Currently, the HTML attributes are marked by double quotes, as well as the JavaScript code.

    <a href="javascript:navClickListener("navContent", "bodyContent" "http://192.168.1.34/wiki/index.php/Airworthiness_Directive #content");"></a>
Is effectively truncated to:
<a href="javascript:navClickListener("></a>
                                     ^ Because of this.

    In this case, since you’re using a JavaScript-URI, you can also use %22 instead of double quotes.
