Question

I’m trying to pass a string like this:

{"key":["value"],"key2":undefined,"key3":undefined,"key4":undefined,"key5":"value"}

to a javascript-function like this:

<a href="#" onClick="myFunction(myString);">

but can’t get the escaping right. Is there a way to pass that object-string to a function or do I need to convert something?

Answer 1

try:

var myString = '{"key":["value"],"key2":undefined,"key3":undefined,"key4":undefined,"key5":"value"}';

EDIT:

In light of your recent comment I went back to the browser and tried this (works for me):

<a href="#" onClick="myFunction({'key':['value'],'key2':undefined,'key3':undefined,'key4':undefined,'key5':'value'});">

The change means that it’s no longer longer passed as a string but as an object parameter to myFunction.
