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?
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.

Any comments to help improve this answer would be helpful.
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");
