Pass Value from Code Behind to JavaScript Function

Question

Below is my JavaScript Function

function HighlightWord(highlightword) {
       alert(highlightword);
}

When I pass value to above function using below code

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "onload", "HighlightWord(abc)", true);

alert displays 'undefined'. What is wrong in this? Thanks.

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "onload", "HighlightWord(abc)", true);

means alert the abc variable which I assume you don't have. It should be

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "onload", "HighlightWord('abc')", true);`.

This will alert "abc" which is what I assume you want to happen.
