Passing values with space between from php to javascript onClick

Question

I am failing to find the answer for this and it is taking me long This is my problem: I want to pass php variable to javascript onclick but i am failing if there is space between the value of the variable for example passing first name and last name in one variable is not working but passing one username is working.

This is the code:

       //$username='Liberty Johnson';//This one is not working
       $username='LibertyJohnson';
     <tr>
     <td><b>
     <?php echo $username?>
     </b> is online now <a href="javascript:void(0)" 
      onclick=  "javascript:chatWith('<?php echo    $username?>')"> 
      Start Chat</a>
      </td>
      </tr>

    function chatWith(chatuser) {
        createChatBox(chatuser);
        $("#chatbox_" + chatuser + " .chatboxtextarea").focus();
    }

function chatWith(chatuser) { createChatBox(chatuser); $("#chatbox_"+chatuser+" .chatboxtextarea").focus(); } — Leereal

In chatWith function, use this code function chatWith(chatuser) { createChatBox(chatuser); $("#chatbox_"+chatuser.replace(" ", "")+" .chatboxtextarea").focus(); } — Medet Ahmetson Atabayev

Need to change white space to  . So you can use

<?php echo str_replace(' ', ' ', $username); ?>

instead of

<?php echo $username; ?>

Try This

function chatWith(chatuser) {
    createChatBox(chatuser);
    $("[id='chatbox_" + chatuser + "'] .chatboxtextarea").focus();
}
