HTML/PHP:
<button onclick="change_value(<?php echo $date?>)">Go</button>
JavaScript:
function change_value(date_used)
{
alert(date_used);
}
When I right-click on the button and click the "Inspect Element" button shows the parameter correctly, i.e something like this:
<button onclick="change_value(2012-08-22)">Go</button>
But the alert in the JavaScript is displaying 1981. That's it - only 1981. Not only the date is wrong, but the format, too.
What is this happening and how can I fix it?
Change
<button onclick="change_value(<?php echo $date?>)">Go</button>
to this:
<button onclick="change_value('<?php echo $date?>')">Go</button>
You should pass it as string to JavaScript ...
