You can't nest tags in tag attributes. You also can't nest quoted strings
with the same quote type.
In my view, you have two alternatives:
Ensure the "staffMember" is a scripting variable, and make the entire
"onclick" value be an rtexprvalue, concatenating the values you need (it has
to be the entire attribute value, not just a portion of it).
And the somewhat more radical position: Use the Struts-EL library. Then,
this would look like this:
<html-el:submit property="submit"
onclick="setAction('Delete
Staff');setKeyToDelete('${staffMember}');"
styleClass="deleteButton" titleKey="button.delete.staff"
value=" "/>
