This is my code:

var url = f.href.value;
ed.dom.setAttribs(e, {
    href : 'javascript:void(0)',
    onclick: 'doSomething(' + url + ')'
});

And the doSomething method:

function doSomething(url) {
    windowMy = dhxWins.createWindow("externalLink", 10, 10, 630, 630);
    windowMy.setText("Title");
    windowMy.attachURL(url);
}

When doSomething is called, I get the error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :, when url="http://somewebsite/site".

What should I do? How can I pass url as parameter in JS function?

• javascript
• jquery

• 2 The string you create is something like something(http://...) which is not a valid JavaScript function call. The argument has to be put in quotes to be interpreted as string literal. – Felix Kling Commented Sep 18, 2013 at 13:51

I think you just need some extra quotes around your url:

var url = f.href.value;
ed.dom.setAttribs(e, {
    href : 'javascript:void(0)',
    onclick: 'doSomething("' + url + '")'
});

Otherwise, the function ends up like this:

doSomething(http://www.google.);

Instead of:

doSomething("http://www.google.");
