    If you want to include quote characters in an attribute value delimited with the same kind of quote characters, you have to represent them with character references.

    onclick="submit(document.getElementById("ShortcutID").value)"

    Alternatively, use a different kind of quote character.

    onclick="submit(document.getElementById('ShortcutID').value)"

    … but try to avoid using intrinsic event attributes and bind your JavaScript event handlers with JavaScript instead. See Unobtrusive JavaScript
