I have an issue with onclick function.

Here's my code :

$('ul.listing').append('<button onclick="openInApp("test")"  class="btn btn-primary">Edit <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>');

When I click the button, I have the "Unexpected end of input" error message. I try to pass variable too like this :

$('ul.listing').append('<button onclick="openInApp('+ edit_url +')"  class="btn btn-primary">Edit <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>');

And I get the following message : Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

Both errors begins at the "("

I have another function (always in the append) :

 $('ul.listing').append('<a href="event-details.html" onclick="saveEventID(' + data[i].ID + ');">')

And it works perfectlly

I don't understand

• 2 Since you used onclick="openInApp("test")", only "openInApp(" is passed to the onclick listener – Luca Kiebel Commented May 14, 2018 at 17:52
• 3 Your problem is conflicting quotes, try to avoid using attribute event handlers, these are just one of several issues that e up when using them. – Musa Commented May 14, 2018 at 17:54
• I know that the probleme is the quotes but how to solve it ? I try to inverse double quote and quote, to remove it, etc but still the same problem. Also why the other function worked ? – Jean R. Commented May 14, 2018 at 17:59
• 2 You can escape the quotes with a backspace, or use a string template, or you can bind the event handler to the element as a non-inline binding. There are various ways to approach this issue. – Taplar Commented May 14, 2018 at 18:02
• Just don't use inline event attributes at all. Bind the function using jQuery on. – Bergi Commented May 14, 2018 at 18:07

To nest the string in the onclick, you can do it like below where the single quote is escaped using a backslash to prevent it from terminating the string.

$('ul.listing').append('<button onclick="openInApp(\'test\')"  class="btn btn-primary">Edit <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>');

An alternative way to handle this can be done by passing the string through a separate data attribute:

$('ul.listing').append('<button onclick="openInApp(this)" data-string="yourstringhere" class="btn btn-primary">Edit <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>');

and then accessing it in the onclick function like this:

function openInApp(element) {
    var mystring = $(element).data("string");
}
