Passing A String In Onclick Function's Attribute Of Element Dynamically Created Element

I am trying to pass a string in the onClick event handler function's arguments of the dynamically created anchor element, see the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/shmdhussain/bXYe4/. I a

Solution 1:

You have to use proper string sytax. This

"<ahref='#'onclick='test('"+elem[i].url+"')'>dd</a><br><br>"

will result in

<a href='#' onclick='test('http://domain.tld')'>dd</a><br><br>

You cannot use ' for onclick and the parameters of test. Use \" instead.

"<ahref='#'onclick='test(\""+elem[i].url+"\")'>dd</a><br><br>"

Which results in

<ahref='#'onclick='test("http://domain.tld")'>dd</a><br><br>

Solution 2:

Your problem is, that str+="<a href='#' onclick='test('"+elem[i].url+"')'>dd</a><br/><br/>"; will return a string like "<a href='#' onclick='test('your_url')'>dd</a><br/><br/>". This will generate a html like this:

<a href='#' onclick='test('your_url')'>dd</a><br/><br/>

In this case, the onclick attribute contains only 'test('.

Try this:

str+="<ahref='#'onclick='test(\""+elem[i].url+"\")'>dd</a><br/><br/>";

This will generate a html like this:

<ahref='#'onclick='test("your_url")'>dd</a><br/><br/>

Solution 3:

Directly use:

test('"+elem[i].url+"') 

instead of:

'test('"+elem[i].url+"')'

to pass the string inside a method.

Solution 4:

If I didn't misunderstand your question, here is your answer;

var elem=[  {"name":"husain","url":"http://google.com","age":21},
    {"name":"ismail","url":"http://yahoo.com","age":22},
    {"name":"nambi","url":"http://msn.com","age":23}
]

jQuery(function($){
    var str="";
    for(i=0;i<elem.length;i++){
        var a =$('<a>',{href:'#',text:'dd'});
        a.click(function(e){
               test(elem[i].url)
        });
        $('.mytest').append(a).append($('</br>')).append($('</br>'));

    }
});

functiontest(url){
    console.log("url is "+url);
}

Solution 5:

For passing multiple parameters you can cast the string by concatenating it with the ASCII value like, for single quotes we can use '

var str= "'"+ str+ "'";

the same parameter you can pass to the onclick(str) event.It is helpful in cases where we pass multiple parameters.It works with every browser.
