Question

I am attempting to create a button that has an onclick event programmically..

 var removeFunction = "removeEmployee(" + "'" + phone + "'" + "," + "'" + pin + "'" + "," + "'" + employees[i].ID + "'" + ")";

    var removeButton = "<a onclick='" + removeFunction + "' " + "data-role='button' data-icon='delete' data-iconpos='notext'></a>";

I have this function in the same javascript file as the the dynamically created code above. I think it is breaking because I need to add quotes around the string parameters. The above code is an attempt to that but if I look at the created markup it reads..

onclick="removeEmployee(" 

Something is making the rest cut off im not sure what? Also will this run as long as I have a funcition named “removeEmployee” located in my javascript file?

Answer 1

Try:

var removeFunction = "removeEmployee('" + phone + "','" + pin + "','" + employees[i].ID + "')"; 

Also:

var removeButton = "<a onclick='" + removeFunction + "' data-role='button' data-icon='delete' data-iconpos='notext'></a>";
