I’m append html code using jquery append function. If on onclick I use function with one parameter – all right, but if I use function with multiple parameters I get error in console: SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list. My code:
var quote = quotes[i];
$('#quu').append('<div onclick="addBook('+quote.userId+', '+quote.book+')">'+quote.book+'</div>')
Function addBook:
function addBook(user_id, name) {
alert(name);
alert(user_id);
}
What I’m doing wrong?

You need to add quotes to the name quote.book since it shall be passed as a string parameter to the function addBook
$('#quu').append('<div onclick="addBook('+quote.userId+', ''+quote.book+'')">'+quote.book+'</div>')
var quote = {userId : 1, book: "The GodFather"};
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#quu').append('<div onclick="addBook('+quote.userId+', ''+quote.book+'')">'+quote.book+'</div>');
});
function addBook(user_id, name) {
console.log(name);
console.log(user_id);
}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div id="quu"></div>
