how to pass string value to javascript as function parameter from html?

Question

Im embedding html codes in java , I have to pass a string value from html to javascript function, I have tried something like this

out.print("<script>init("+macId+")</script>");

but it didn't pass any value if I pass some integer value then it will be fine, then tried this which I have seen in some example

out.print("<script>init(\'"+macId+"\')</script>");

but the result is same ..can anybody help me to solve this, is this method is the right one I need to follow?

why dont you assign the variable to some input value and get the value of that element in your function with jquery or js. — sajanyamaha

You don't need to escape ' in string:

out.print("<script>init('" + macId + "')</script>");
