If aStr contains a single or double quote or a non-printable or non-ascii
character, your expression will fail (it will be invalid JavaScript).
I would suggest:
def customJSStr = "document.getElementById('foo').innerHTML = " +aStr.encJs
+ ";"
That will properly escape the string as a JavaScript string.
