Pass a variable to a function with javascript

Question

I am building a list automatically from a JSON with the following code

dataObject.forEach(newList);

function newList(item, index) {
  var s = item.time;
  alert(s);
  var list = $('<li onclick="myFunction(s)">' + listItemString + '</li>');
....
}

The alert(s) print the right values of s but when I click on the element I get an error ReferenceError: s is not defined

You have to append the variable s

function newList(item, index) {
  var s = item.time;
  var list = $('<li onclick="myFunction(\'' + s + '\')">' + listItemString + '</li>');
  ....
}

You need to use

var list = $('<li>' + listItemString + '</li>');
list.on('click', function {
    myFunction(s);
})

Try with:

var list = $('<li onclick="myFunction(this)">' + listItemString + '</li>');

Then you can access item.time inside myFunction
