how to encode this line

[Claus Mygind]

It appears I have run out of delimiters, so there must be a way around this coding problem.

I am creating some dynamic content, into which I want to add a couple of variables. I have tried escaping the " (see below) and also tried the [ ] (not sure if square brackets can be used as delimiters).

So how to code this? And if the suggestion is to do an evaluate, please provide and example.

td.innerHTML = '<a href="#" onclick = "showDetail(\"'+chkForDay+'\",\"'+chkForDay+'\");">show detail</a> '

Either use escaped single quotes (as opposed to the double ones) or use a string (with the quotes) and just include that instead, e.g.

var str = "'test'";
something.innerHTML = '<a href="#" onclick = "showDetail('+str+');">show detail</a> ';

Well as it often seems my problems lay in another location. The parameter that was being stored with the "onclick" event handler was being constantly updated as it cycled through my loop. So I assigned the value to the id of the anchor and was able to resolve my problem

for ( var employee in aWeeklyTime )
{
   for ( var dayOfWeek in aWeeklyTime[employee] )
   {
     td.innerHTML = '<a href="#" id= "'+employee+'"  onclick = "showDetail(this.id,chkForDay);">show detail</a> '
 
   }
}
