Possibility: Assuming error correction, the resulting script code is

  this.innerHTML = X;

and the identifier “X” is not defined.  (See the error console.  See the FAQ  
for details on debugging.)

You must not use the same character as markup attribute value delimiter and 
script string value delimiter.  In this simple case, use either “'” and “"”, 
or “"” and “'”, respectively.  In other cases you can use a character 
reference or character entity reference to avoid the offending code, or you 
need to move the offending code elsewhere and use that from the attribute 
value.
