Problem while dynamically passing params to javascript functions.

10 New Member
Hi,

I am using the following javascript method inside a js file.

function createDivRow(la bel,text) {

var formedTd = '<tr><td>' + label + '</td><td> <a href="#" onclick="javasc ript:eventHandl erFunction("'+t ext+'")">'+text +'</a></td></tr>';
return formedTd;
}

But it's throwing syntax error.
I have tried the following way also.

function createDivRow(la bel,text) {

var formedTd = '<tr><td>' + label + '</td><td> <a href="#" onclick="javasc ript:eventHandl erFunction('+te xt+')">'+text+' </a></td></tr>';
return formedTd;
}

this version throwing ')' expected and also, the value of text which i am passing dynamically is undefined.

I am not able to call the eventHandlerFun ction() by passing the dynamic value of the 'text' .

I am using IE6. can any one help me....

hi ...

try this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var formedTd = '<tr><td>' 
  2.     + label 
  3.     + '</td><td> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:eventHandlerFunction("'
  4.     + text 
  5.     + '")">'     
  6.     + text
  7.     + '</a></td></tr>';
  8.  
the problem should be your linebreak before 'onclick'

kind regards ...

ahhhhhhhhhh ... got your problem ... you put the formedTd-string in an HTML-page and you want the function called ... ;) of course ...

you must escape the quotes and single quotes of course ... sorry that i forgot it ... use the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.       var formedTd = '<tr><td>'
  2.           + label
  3.           + '</td><td> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:eventHandlerFunction(\''
  4.           + text
  5.           + '\')">'     
  6.           + text
  7.           + '</a></td></tr>';
  8.  
but note ... that assumes that text is a string passed to your eventHandlerFun ction ... otherwise you should delete the both escaped quotes

kind regards

Hi, I'm writing a hand-written recursive decent parser for SPICE syntax parsing. In one case I have one function that handles a bunch of similar cases (you pass the name and the number of tokens you're looking for).

However, these functions are semantically similar and are...
