Solution 1:

If you must use double quotes, you can remove them like so:

var divText = $("div").text().replace(/"/g, '');

Solution 2:

Playing off the reg exp from the jQuery docs

var divText = $("div").text();
var name = divText.replace(/("|:|\.|\[|\]|,)/g, "\\$1");
$('form:not(:has([name="' + name + '"]))').append($('<input>', {
  type: 'text',
  value: divText,
  name: divText
}));
alert($('[name="' + divText + '"]').val());

<form>
