Currenly i use javascript to bind a table dynamically..
I need single quotes to delimit a string..
Code :-
var str ="";
str += "<td><a onclick='showFlightsByName("+val.Name+")' href='javascript:;'><span>" + val.Name + "</span></a></td>";
Current Ouput :-
<a onclick="showFlightsByName(AirTran Airways)" href="javascript:;"><span>Airways Airways</span></a>
Desire Output :-
<a onclick="showFlightsByName('AirTran Airways')" href="javascript:;"><span>Airways Airways</span></a>
"<td><a onclick='showFlightsByName("+val.Name+")' href='javascript:;'><span>" + val.Name + "</span></a></td>"
should be
"<td><a onclick=\"showFlightsByName('"+val.Name+"')\" href=\"javascript:;\"><span>" + val.Name + "</span></a></td>"
Try this:
var str ="";
str += "<td><a onclick=\"showFlightsByName('"+val.Name+"')\" href=\"javascript:;\"><span>" + val.Name + "</span></a></td>";
Often when working with HTML it's easier to use ' instead of " for Strings, like this:
var str = '<td><a onclick="showFlightsByName("' + val.Name + '")" href="javascript:;"><span>' + val.Name + '</span></a></td>';
However, have you considered using JS to build the DOM object?
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = "javascript:;";
a.onclick = "showFlightsByName(" + val.Name + ")";
a.appendChild(document.createElement("span").innerHTML(val.name));
var td = document.createElement("td");
td.appendChild(a);
That might not be 100%. It's been a while since I've coded in plain JS. JQuery makes it too easy.
edit: on that note...
var $a = $('<a>').append($('<span>').text(val.Name)).click(function() {
showFlightsByName(val.Name);
});
$('<td>').append($a).appendTo("WHEREVER");
