Unterminated string constant on in IE for complex function

[cubicalmonkey]

Hello,
I'm attempting to get this code to work in IE.
The script I have below works fine in Firefox but doesn't work in IE.
Basically this script adds an onclick function to radio buttons of a form which is dynamically generated by a java applet.
(I'm not familiar with the java applet nor do I have any control over it.)

Does anyone have any suggestions to make this work in IE?

The error I get is "ERROR: unterminated string constant"
The error is on line 55 which is the line below starting with inputs[i].onclick.
It seems IE does not like the " on this line. If I escape the " IE does not return an error but the data
does not display correctly in the popinframe() function.

 var texts = new Array();
      function spanify()
      {
                  //addField();                                         
                var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
                 for(var i=0; i<inputs.length; i++)
                  {
                        var curnode = inputs[i].nextSibling;
                        var newSpan = document.createElement('span');
                        while(curnode != null)
                        {
                                if(curnode.tagName != null && curnode.tagName.match(/input/i))
                                {
                                          curnode = null;
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                          newSpan.appendChild(curnode.cloneNode(true));
                                          curnode = curnode.nextSibling;
                                }
                        }
                  inputs[i].onclick = new Function("var answers = ('" + megatrim(newSpan.innerHTML.toString()) + "'); popinframe(answers); doSubmit();");      
              }
 
      }
 
function megatrim(str) {
                str = str.replace(/'/g, "");
                str = str.replace(/"/g, "");
                str = str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$|\n/g, '');
                return str;
        }

The error I get is "ERROR: unterminated string constant"
The error is on line 55 which is the line

I am only seeing lines 1-33. Where is line 55? I noticed on lines 28 and 29 that you have quotes in regular expressions that are not escaped. That is one possible cause of the problem.

                str = str.replace(/'/g, "");
                str = str.replace(/"/g, "");
 

Should be

                str = str.replace(/\'/g, "");
                str = str.replace(/\"/g, "");
