a taddle bit of recap, seems that you're loosing the bigger picture ....

ANYTHING (or, the 99%) of things in views contained in a {{=blabla}} are 
properly escaped.

Back to the "problem":
- first of all, you shouldn't generate <p id="target"></p> multiple times. 
Every element with an id attribute should be the only instance in the page
- second: you'd really check into what leonel suggested, it cuts the 
complexity
- third, for completeness sake and for that only: in cases like this I like 
to take a step back and iterate over small changes, to see where everything 
is falling apart...
a) let's start with <div onlick="something">check about</a>
b) let's get "something" become  "ajax('url', ['parameter'], 'target');"
        - <div onlick="ajax('url', ['parameter'], 'target')">check about</a>
c) let's get "url" become a proper url
       - <div onlick="ajax('{{=URL('default','about_group')}}', 
['parameter'], 'target')">check about</a>
d) let's get "parameter" become the row.id 
       - <div onlick="ajax('{{=URL('default','about_group')}}', 
['{{=row.id}}'], 'target')">check about</a>

voilà, no syntax errors.
