How to pass a string parameter in an onclick function with JavaScript?

To pass a string parameter in an onclick function with JavaScript, we add a click listener that calls the function that takes the string.

For instance, we write

const inputElement = document.createElement("input");
inputElement.type = "button";
inputElement.addEventListener("click", () => {
  gotoNode(result.name);
});

document.body.appendChild(inputElement);

to create an input with createElement.

We set the type property to set the type attribute.

Then we call addEventListener to add a click listener to the input that calls the gotoNode function with the string.

Then we call appendChild to append the input as the last child of the body element.
