unterminated string constant error in serialized json string

Question

I need to send a serialized data as parameter in a javascript function as shown below.

<input type="button" id="btn1" onclick="fncname('{"data":"testval"}';)">

I am getting error unterminated string constant.

Can anyone help me to find out a solution for this?

You'll have to html encode your attribute to avoid conflicting quotes.

<input type="button" id="btn1" onclick="fncname('{&quot;data&quot;:&quot;testval&quot;}')">
