Error message: Syntax error at position 22 in 'msdyn_name eq CA-90028'.

Script: 

        if (formContext.getAttribute("shipto_postalcode").getValue() && formContext.getAttribute("shipto_stateorprovince").getValue()) {
            var taxGroupName = formContext.getAttribute("shipto_stateorprovince").getValue()   "-"   formContext.getAttribute("shipto_postalcode").getValue();
            alert(taxGroupName);

            Xrm.WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords("msdyn_taxgroup", "?$select=msdyn_name&$filter=msdyn_name eq "   taxGroupName).then(

or am I making some simpler syntax error?

TIA

    I think there is a way by modifying the ribbon to move the mscrm function from the button to the javascript and replace the command on the button but, I'm hoping there is a more easily maintainable solution.

    I have placed shipto_name/_stateorprovince/_postalcode fields to the address form and added this method to their onChange events.  Of course, add/change addresses run through an mscrm method attached to the lookup address button/dialog.

    I change the address and can see fields change but the method does not fire until I save; and I have no place to script ".fireOnChange()".

    Hence it saves and comes back dirty.

    ps- for all the kids out there: 

    Xrm.WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords("msdyn_taxgroup", "?$select=msdyn_name&$filter=msdyn_name eq '"   taxGroupName   "'").then(

    So what is needed to happen and why a double save?  Maybe I can help get it down to 1.

    Now, unfortunately I have to figure out a way to have it fire before the order save (double saving required.)

    Try single quotes around the taxGroupName

    Go to:

    -assuming your version is 9.1, change as needed.

    YOURCRMBASEURL.com/.../msdyn_taxgroups eq 'CA-90028'

    What comes back?
