I would suggest not trying to generate a complex JavaScript statement like
this inside an href attribute. Instead, generate a call on a function,
specifying as little as possible in the arguments - only those things that
strictly vary from one call to the next. Then put the call to openWorkWindow
inside a JavaScript function that you include in a <script> section in the
output HTML document.

I'm not saying that you can't get it to work the way you are doing it, I'm
just saying that I've found it's easier to do it the way I suggest.
