jquery .load not working with function parameters

Question

I have an onLoad method in my html body that is calling a function to load certain data based on the php variables in my url.

body onLoad="getData(<?php echo $_GET['Category']; ?>, <?php echo $_GET['Product']; ?>);"

This is my onLoad call: Which when I check googles chrome inspect element it is displaying the two variables names when i run the page.

function getData(Category, Product){
            $('.products').load('test.php');
            return;
        }

My function is this but for some reason if I pass in the parameters onload from above it does not work but if i use getData() with no variables it runs. Im not understanding why if the variables are used its not running the .load. Am I not calling the URL variables correctly in php?

I think you need to wrap your variables in quotes if they are strings:

body onLoad="getData('<?php echo $_GET['Category']; ?>', '<?php echo $_GET['Product']; ?>');"

Sweet thank you that did it! I was struggling with that for the last two hours and I couldn't figure out why!
