href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet"
data-size="small"
data-text="">
Tweet</a>


<script>
var textQuote = document.getElementByID("#quote");
$("a").attr("data-text", textQuote);
</script>

    You have some issues in the js code. You do not need to add “#” to the id for getElementByID call , also to get the text of a HTML element you can use text method.

    <script>
var textQuote = $("#quote").text();
$("a").attr("data-text", textQuote);
</script>

    I think textQuote is a HtmlElement object, not the value you want to assign.
    you should get the value in quote first.
    btw, jquery has a method called data to assign value to data attributes.
