Javascript : Problem while passing parameter to a function

Question

I am passing a parameter to a javascript function from jsp.

  <a href="javascript:void(0)" title="Update" 
   onclick="fnUpdate(<s:property value='roleTypeUid'/>);">

Now the roleTypeUid is a String with space in between (eg. System Admin) . So it is not working . If I replace the attribute with a no-space string , it gets passed fine.

Am I missing something ?

Try like this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" 
   title="Update" 
   onclick="fnUpdate('<s:property value='roleTypeUid'/>');">

@vinoth You may need to escape them.

@vinoth, how about onclick="fnUpdate('<s:property value='roleTypeUid'/>');"?

Is roleTypeUid meant to be a string or an included variable? Did Darin forget to escape it?

The called function within onclick has to be a string, you can't reference variables directly in it.

onclick="fnUpdate(\"<s:property value='roleTypeUid'/>\");"

That string is evalled onclick and thus becomes a function. That's why it may be better to add handlers unobtrusive
