This kind of works:

<div onclick=alert('a')>click</div>

but this not:

<div onclick=alert('a b')>click</div>

[so if your string i contains whitespace you are in trouble]

You should have the onclick js in quotes:

<div onclick="alert('a b')">click</div>

even then

<div onclick="function(){alert('a b')}">click</div>

will not work, because this

<script type='text/javascript'>
    function(){alert('a b')}
</script>

does not,
methinks because an anonimous function has to be compiled to be called.
