[Javascript] Passing a variable to a Function

[David Lovering]

Hmmm... maybe you need to use an 'eval' call:

<a href="javascript:myFunction(eval(myVariable))">myVariable</a>

I haven't tested this particular syntax recently, but some of my older code
runs OK with this in place.
All those who have more time than I do (or more recent experience), please
feel free to jump in with
the necessary corrections.
