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(label,text) {

var formedTd = '<tr><td>' + label + '</td><td> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:eventHandlerFunction("'+text+' ")">'+text+'</a></td></tr>';
return formedTd;
}

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

function createDivRow(label,text) {

var formedTd = '<tr><td>' + label + '</td><td> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:eventHandlerFunction('+text+') ">'+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 eventHandlerFunction() 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

 
var formedTd = '<tr><td>' 

    + label 

    + '</td><td> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:eventHandlerFunction("'

    + text 

    + '")">'     

    + text

    + '</a></td></tr>';

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

 
      var formedTd = '<tr><td>'

          + label

          + '</td><td> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:eventHandlerFunction(\''

          + text

          + '\')">'     

          + text

          + '</a></td></tr>';

but note ... that assumes that text is a string passed to your eventHandlerFunction ... otherwise you should delete the both escaped quotes

kind regards

yeah...,with the single quote escapes, it's working now...
Thanks a lot for your help.I tried different ways of calling that function with the dynamic value of 'text'.But nothing helped me. I am really thankful to you...:)
