Use json_encode() to pass values to javascript.

editQuestionField(<?php echo json_encode($GLOBALS['ques']) ?>,<?php echo json_encode($GLOBALS['id']) ?>);

Also $GLOBALS['ques'] is most likely empty/not defined.

This is a better suggestion. As double quotes will get escaped.

write values in '' quotes like this editQuestionField('val1','val2');

<script>
 editQuestionField('<?php echo $GLOBALS['ques'] ?>','<?php echo $GLOBALS['id'] ?>');
</script>
