Disclaimer: I don't know JavaScript.
Maybe you get more comprehensive answers in a JavaScript newsgroup.

<?php

echo 'onfocus="this.value=\'write something here\'"';

echo "onfocus=\"this.value='write something here'\"";

$double_quote = '"';
$single_quote = "'";
echo 'onfocus=', $double_quote, 'this.value=', $single_quote,
'write something here', $single_quote, $double_quote;

?>
