Send XML in a js variable

I have this php code and the variable is XML data

$strXML = "<chart caption='ADI Chart Test ' xAxisName='Month' yAxisName='Units'"
$strXML.= "showValues='0'formatNumberScale='0' showBorder='1'>";

echo "<td align='right' onClick='drawchart($strXML)' > $totalcost </td> " ;` 

this is passed to a javascript function

function drawchart(dataX) {
var chart1 = new FusionCharts("../charts/Pie3D.swf", "chart1Id", "400", "300","1"); 
chart1.setDataXML(dataX);
chart1.render("chart1div");

My problem is that the link is not dis开发者_如何学Cplayed correctly and more importantly there is no data when it gets to the js function

Could anyone tell me how to send xml data via a js variable please ?

You should encode the strXML in order to render it as valid HTML. Furthermore, you should enclose it with apostrophes so that it becomes a valid Javascript literal.

echo
     "<td align='right' onClick='drawchart(\"" .
     htmlspecialchars(json_encode($strXML)) . 
     "\")'> $totalcost </td>";

Seems you have missing something in this : echo "<td align='right' onClick='drawchart($strXML)' > $totalcost </td> " ;`

it should be:

echo "<td align='right' onClick='drawchart(\"$strXML\")' > $totalcost </td> " ;`

What is the end result you are looking for - ignoring the XML/JS portion?

If you are just trying to assign other attributes to the chart, couldn't you just load the data via the setDataURL function:

var url="/path/to/data.php";

var chart1 = new FusionCharts("../charts/Pie3D.swf", "chart1Id", "400", "300","1");

url=escape(url);

chart1.setDataURL(url);

chart1.addParam("WMode", "Transparent");

chart1.render("chart1div");
