How to pass string argument to javascript method

Question

my code

function paginatePage(getPath) {


    alert("from pagenate page");
    alert("home path initial " + getPath);
}

unable to get the alert message

when i called the method

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"paginatePage(%s)",getPath]

There's obviously something extremely important you're not telling us here. From what context are you attempting to call this method? What programming environment are we talking about here? — Pointy

So we have JavaScript and Objective-C here. What is their connection? What do you want to do? — Felix Kling

Probably just the quotes around the string literal missing?

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"paginatePage('%s')",getPath]

You possibly need to qualify the string with quotes.

I don't know what that NSString syntax is, but something like:

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"paginatePage('%s')",getPath]

Your error does not come from this, because the code is 100% valid : this is how you pass a string argument to a function.

If you could provide some more code, maybe we could help you.

Also, make sure no other function has the same name, or maybe it's how you called the function?
