Getting "argument is not defined" error while running the javascript from Selenium

Question

TestCase class is where I initailize the driver and invoke the url (url "http://www.amazon.in/")

public class TestCase { 
    InitializeDriver id = new InitializeDriver();
    WebDriver driver = null;

    @BeforeTest
    public void setup()
    {
        id.invokeApplicationUrl();
        driver = id.getDriver();

    }

}

TC1 is my test to go to Amazon sign in page

public class TC1 extends TestCase {
    @Test
    public void runTC1 () 
    {
        GoToSignInPage gts = new GoToSignInPage(driver);
        gts.clickElement();
    }
}

Logic to go to the sign in page is written in GoToSignPage is written

public class GoToSignInPage {

    WebDriver driver;

    public GoToSignInPage(WebDriver driver)
    {
        this.driver=driver;
    }

    InitialPage ip = new InitialPage(driver);
    InitializeDriver id = new InitializeDriver();

    public void clickElement()
    {
        Actions action = new Actions(driver);
        //driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
        //ip.yourOrders(driver).click();
        jse.executeScript("argument[0].style.border='3px dotted blue'", ip.yourOrders(driver));
action.moveToElement(ip.yourOrders(driver)).moveToElement(ip.signInBt(driver)).click().build().perform();
}

InitialPage class has all the required page objects

public class InitialPage {

    WebDriver driver;

    public InitialPage(WebDriver driver)
    {
        this.driver = driver;
    }

    WebElement element ;

    public WebElement yourOrders(WebDriver driver)
    {
        element = driver.findElement(By.id("nav-link-yourAccount"));
        return(element);

    }
    public WebElement signInBt(WebDriver driver)
    {
        element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='nav-flyout-ya-signin']/a/span"));
        return(element);

    }

}

Error is as below

One simple solution is to change jse.executeScript("argument[0].style.border='3px dotted blue'", to jse.executeScript("arguments[0].style.border='3px dotted blue'",

Your error comes from executing this JavaScript code jse.executeScript("argument[0].style.border='3px dotted blue'", try loading the website in your browser (i.e. Chrome), open developer tools (F12), navigate to console, input the same command, and you will get the same error:

According to Selenium documentation,

The arguments will be made available to the JavaScript via the "arguments" variable.

In your code, you use argument[0] instead of arguments[0]

But I am passing the argument, the complete command is as below

oldbam Over a year ago

based on your comment, it looks like you want to execute the following JavaScript, document.getElementById('nav-link-yourAccount').style.border='3px dotted blue'. BTW, this will result in another exception if there is no element with given ID, so, I would add a check condition for that

oldbam Over a year ago

another option to try, is to change to arguments[0] Note: s at the end of the variable, it is missing in your code

@AkashChavan : go as per oldbam's latest comment; this is the probable cause to your problem.
