Problem while Passing xml value into function

[pingalkar]

Hi,
JavaScript

..
var i=0;
basechem="<UL>";
while (i >= 0) {
    basechem = xml.getElementsByTagName("basechemical")[i];
 
    basechem = basechem.firstChild.data; 
    basehtml +=  "<LI><a href=# onClick=passChemicalName("+ i +")>" + basechem + "</a></LI>";
 

Here instead of "i", i want to pass "basechem" but it wont work. why this happens, it take numeric value but cant take xml data.
when i got this xml value, then i want to pass this value into parent window (which is a child window of another window) text box.
please help.

    basehtml +=  "<LI><a href=# onClick=passChemicalName('"+ basechem +"')>" + basechem + "</a></LI>";
 

Hey there sorry I didn't answer this sooner just now seen the post but thats how you would do it by adding ' before and after '


(" + whatever + ") would look like this (whatever) which would assume numeric only.

but ('" + whatever + "') would look like this ('whatever') which is a string because of ' the quotes ' So now it will pass the information you want.

I had tried this by using ('"+whatever+"')
but IE giving me Unterminated string error.

    basehtml +=  "<LI><a href=# onClick=passChemicalName('"+ basechem +"')>" + basechem + "</a></LI>";
