I have written a javascript client-object model code and I am calling it through the below line code from content editor webpart:

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebSiteData(sys), "sp.js");// throwing error

But it is throwing javascript error in init.js and other javascript functions are not working. Can someone tell me how to pass parameters to javascript client-model function?

  • Why don't you like to have your code as code formatted? In my option this makes the question clear. Jul 5, 2012 at 6:42

You can use an function as a delegate and then call your function with in.

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function () { alertThis("Hello World") }, "core.js");

function alertThis(value)
{
    alert(value);
} 

It is worth reading about closures, delegates and Anonymous functions in javascript to help understand the code.

The answer suggested by JC Vivian works nicely, but in my opinion there's a cleaner, more readable way. You can create a function that returns the function that does what you need:

function dataGetterFor (param) {
    return function () {
        getWebSiteData(param);
    };
}
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(dataGetterFor(sys), "sp.js");

This causes dataGetterFor(sys) to be evaluated and ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded to be called with an anonymous function. A shorter but less extensible way to achieve the same result is the one-liner

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function () { getWebSiteData(sys); }, "sp.js");
