    Question Call JavaScript function with parameters from Qt C++

    I know how can I call a JavaScript function without parameters from Qt C++ code:

    JavaScript code:

    Qt Code:
    1. function foo() {
    2. console.log("bar");
    3. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Qt code:

    Qt Code:
    1. QString foo = "foo(); null";
    2. ui->webView->page()->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript(foo);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I want to call a JavaScript fuction with parameters from Qt C++ code. How can I do it? It's possible to perform a pass parameters?

    Best regards.

    If the parameter value can be expressed as a string, you could simple make it part of the "script"

    Qt Code:
    1. const QString scriptWithPlaceHolders = "foo(%1);";
    2.  
    3. evaluateJavaScrpt(scriptWithPlaceHolders.arg(argument));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Cheers,

    Im having some problems with this.
    Ive got this code
    Qt Code:
    1. const QString scriptWithPlaceHolders = "test();null";
    2. ((std::pair<QWebView*, std::string>)publicWindows.at(0)).first->page()->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript(scriptWithPlaceHolders);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    over this javascript
    Qt Code:
    1. function test(){
    2. document.getElementById("title").innerHTML = ":(";
    3. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    And everything seems fine, but if i try:

    Qt Code:
    1. const QString scriptWithPlaceHolders = "test(%1);null";
    2. ((std::pair<QWebView*, std::string>)publicWindows.at(0)).first->page()->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript(scriptWithPlaceHolders.arg(":("));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    over

    Qt Code:
    1. function test(purq){
    2. document.getElementById("title").innerHTML = ":(";
    3. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    it does not work, any idea on what can be wrong?

    Please explain how "does not work" manifest itself.

    If I were a betting man, I would bet you need to include some escaped quotations so that your parameter gets passed as a string to your function.

    does not work was function not being called, but sulliwk was right it worked doing this:
    evaluateJavaScript(scriptWithPlaceHolders.arg("''"));
    Some wasted hours blaming everything else xD. But i really cant understand why is that even needed, more when thinking on javascript and his weak typing.
    Thank you dudes.
