$(document).ready(function() stops working as soon as i assign value to variable ( var userid = ${userid}; )

I just want to be able to access variable userid in document.ready function. It's accessible in the JSP page but not in jQuery. I am able to print value of ${userid} on the same JSP page but not in jQuery. I have passed userid obj with model and view object to this JSP page. However I am not able to access that object. 

$(document).ready(function(){
  var examid = ${userid};

  alert("Hello !");
  //alert(username);
});
Solution

  • If the value of ${userid} is a string then you need to wrap it in quotes, otherwise you'll be getting a syntax error thrown in your JS code. For example var examid = '${userid}';
