I have an array that I want to pass to a javascript onclick function.

                var event_data = new Array();

                event_data.push(event_id);

                event_data.push(event_title);

                event_data.push(channel_id);

                event_data.push(channel_name);

                event_data.push(channel_onclick);

                event_data.push(event_site);

                event_data.push(event_url);

                event_data.push(event_onclick);

                event_data.push(start_date);

                event_data.push(start_time);

                event_data.push(end_date);

                event_data.push(end_time);

                event_data.push(event_notes);

I send that array in the onclick event of a button.

var span_string = '<span id=dt'+event_id+'>'+print_span+'<br/><button href=# onclick=edit_event('+event_data+'); style=width: 49px;>Edit</button><button href=# onclick=delete_event(); style=width: 49px;>Delete</button></span>';

var event_id_string = 'mn'+event_id;

$('#'+event_id_string).append(span_string);

The onclick function isn't called at all with that code. Is there a different way to do call that function with the event_data array?

function edit_event (event_data) {

/* function edit_event () { */

    alert ('edit event'); 

    var event_id = event_data[0];

    var event_title = event_data[1];

    var channel_id = event_data[2];

    var channel_name = event_data[3];

    var channel_onclick = event_data[4];

    var event_site = event_data[5];

    var event_url = event_data[6];

    var event_onclick = event_data[7];

    var start_date = event_data[8];

    var start_time = event_data[9];

    var end_date = event_data[10];

    var end_time = event_data[11];

    var event_notes = event_data[12];



    var alert_string = 'event id '+event_id+'<br/>'+

    'event title '+event_title+'<br/>'+

    'channel id '+channel_id+'<br/>'+

    'channel name '+channel_name+'<br/>'+

    'channel onclick '+channel_onclick+'<br/>'+

    'event site '+event_site+'<br/>'+

    'event url '+event_url+'<br/>'+

    'event onclick '+event_onclick+'<br/>'+

    'start date '+start_date+'<br/>'+

    'start time '+start_time+'<br/>'+

    'end date '+end_date+'<br/>'+

    'end time '+end_time+'<br/>'+

    'notes '+event_notes+'<br/>';



    alert (alert_string);

}
