Question

I am trying to pass 2 values to a javascript xmlHttp request. The values are being passed to the javascript function. I was successfully passing a single value to the javscript function, but now I need to pass 2 values. The bold value is a string name I want in the javascript.

 echo "<a href='#' class='thumb'><img class='thumb-img' value = ".$row->aid." onclick='getVote(".$row->aid.", **".$row->atitle."**)' src='images/roadies/th".$row->aid.".jpg' />    </a>";

One is an int and the other is a string.

In the javascript, I am not sure how to receive these values. Earlier I used to do this:

function getVote(int)
{
    xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
    if (xmlhttp==null)
    {
        alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
        return;
    }
    value = int;

for a single value. But now since there are 2 values to process, I don’t know how to write the function for it.
I am currently (unsuccessfully) trying this:

function getVote(int, name)
{
    xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
    if (xmlhttp==null)
    {
        alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
        return;
    }
    value = int;
    name= char;

Please tell me how to do it?

You probably want to enclose the title in quotes. Let’s say you have a row with aid 123 and title Hello World. You want to have onclick="getVote(123,'Hello World')"
