In JavaScript you escape special characters with the backslash:
document.write ("<a href=\"" + myurlvar + "\"><img src=\"" + myimgvar +
"\"></a>");
Note that you can also often simplify this by just using single quotes:
document.write ("<a href='" + myurlvar + "'><img src='" + myimgvar +
"'></a>");

Here you would need parenthesis to indicate that you're calling a function:
<script language-"javascript">writetag();</script>

That should do it I think - give 'er a shot.
