How to pass file name to a Function

[ak1dnar]

Hi, I am trying to send a file name to a JS function. but the problem is from I can pass some integer values for the function and i can display the alert box.
but not for the filenames.

this one is working:
[HTML]<a href="javascript:file_down(1001)"><img src="images_store/b_down.jpg" width="21" height="22" border="0" /></a>[/HTML]
this one is Not working:
[HTML]<a href="javascript:file_down(file_name.pdf)"><img src="images_store/b_down.jpg" width="21" height="22" border="0" /></a>[/HTML]

function file_down(fid)
{
var myvar = fid;
alert(myvar);
}

You're missing single qouotes around the string being passed to the function.

[HTML]<a href="javascript:file_down('file_name.pdf')"><img src="images_store/b_down.jpg" width="21" height="22" border="0" /></a>[/HTML]

Actually In my Application I am printing these JS from PHP. thats why i couldn't put the quotes. Anyway thanks :) I'll try to fix it up.

[PHP]echo 'href="javascript:file_down('.$row['p_man'].')"';[/PHP]

You can put quotes in. Just escape them.

Sorry , I didn't get you. how to escape it.

[PHP]echo '<a href="javascript:file_down('.$row['p_man'].')">Image Goes Here</a>';
[/PHP]

Use the backslash key for escaping quotes
