Passing parameters to JavaScript

[leon_zilber]

Hi guys,

From PhP, I want to call JavaScript and pass argument to it

For some reason when I do the following:
onClick=\"return lastCheck($maxa);\

and printout maxa in JavaScript, it says maxa is undefined....

Any ideas why?

Thanks a lot!

well, perhpas the slashes are a problem, but the main thing is you need to translate everything into javascript.

You don't use the $character for javascript.

I believe what you meant to do was:

onClick="return lastCheck('<?php echo $maxa;?>');"

This would output the VALUE of $maxa to the javascript line.

Alternately, if a variable has been declared, and you know it's maxa, you can do this:

onClick='return lastCheck(<?php echo 'maxa';?>);'

in the one case you pass a string, in the second you pass a variable.
