Pass a string parameter in an onclick function

I would like to pass a parameter (i.e. a string) to an Onclick function.

For the moment, I do this:

'<input type="button" onClick="gotoNode(' + result.name + ')" />'

with result.name for example equal to string “Add”.

When I click on this button, I have an error that says that “Add is not defined”. Since this function call works perfectly with a numeric parameter, I assume that it has something to do with the symbols “” in the string.

How can I fix this problem?
