onClick woes

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem with my javascript code. I am trying to pass a parameter to the checkAnswer function during using the onClick event handler.

I wrote the following lines of code:

var option2= document.createElement("input");
option2.type = "button";
option2.name = alldetails[3];
option2.id = "test123";
option2.value = alloptions[1];
tr_a.appendChild(td(option2));
var testx = option2.name;
// alert(testx);
option2.onclick = new Function('checkAnswer(' + testx + ')'
)


Where alldetails[3] = “Europe” (I string value in an array).

function checkAnswer(response)
{
alert(response);
}

When I click my button, nothing happens. The firefox error console says

“Error: Europe is not defined”



Any help would be apprectiated. I basically want the value from the array to be passed to another function upon clicking the button.

 

This strikes me as troublesome:

Where alldetails[3] = “Europe”

Code (markup):

That's always going to evaluate as true, because you've use the single =, which assigns values to variables, and then returns true if successful. You probably want to use the double ==. Ex:

Where alldetails[3] == “Europe”

Code (markup):

(Note that I've posted my code as code by surrounding it with [CODE] and [/CODE].)

Give that a try.
