javascript working in IE but not in Firefox asp.net

Hi,
I have a piece of code that doesn't work in firefox.
ISBNuseSame.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:useSame(" + ISBNTextBox.ClientID + " , " + isbnValue + ");");

PPNuseSame.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:useSame(" + PPNTextBox.ClientID + " , " + ppnValue + " );");

on aspx page, i wrote a function:
function useSame(textBoxId, textBoxValue) {
alert(textBoxValue + textBoxId);textBoxId.value = textBoxValue;
textBoxId.value = textBoxValue;
}
on ie, it works fine, on firefox, even the alert does not fire. Also, can you please tell me how do I five the textboxvalue to that textbox.

Sorry, what do you mean by adding single quotes inside double quotes. is this right?
ISBNuseSame.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:useSame('" + ISBNTextBox.ClientID + "' , '" + isbnValue + "');");
PPNuseSame.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:useSame('" + PPNTextBox.ClientID + "' , '" + ppnValue + "');");

ISBNuseSame.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:useSame('" + ISBNTextBox.ClientID + "' , '" + isbnValue + "');");
                    PPNuseSame.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:useSame('" + PPNTextBox.ClientID + "' , '" + ppnValue + "');");
