Passing String parameter into Javascript

Question

Hi all,

I am passing String parameter into javascript . But it is not being called. this is my script:

function downloadPopup(testing){      
alert(testing); }

I am calling the javascript like this from my jsp page:

<% String testing = "DSfsdsfd" ; %> <a
href="javascript:downloadPopup(<%=testing%>)"
> Click </a>

How to resolve it?

Answer 1

I think you are missing quotes around your string:

<% String testing = "DSfsdsfd" ; %> <a
href="javascript:downloadPopup('<%=testing%>')"
> Click </a>

Answer 2

downloadPopup('<%=testing%>')

dont forget to put string in ''
