How to add value in href from JSON

i'm trying to create table from JSON.
I need to add a value from JSON in tag
function drawProjectRow(rowProject) {
var row = $("<tr/>")
$("#projectListTable").append(row);
row.append($("<td><a href = MY URL PLUS VALUE from rowProject.key> " + rowProject.key + "</a></td>"));
}

Here you can see the value is being rendered ,
var rowProject=2;
console.log("<td><a href ='MY URL"+rowProject+"'> " + rowProject + "</a></td>")
You can do that
row.append("<td><a href ='MY URL"+rowProject.key+"'> " + rowProject.key + "</a></td>");
Or you can follow template literals

Coolest way to handle this in JavaScript
"<td><a href = MY URL PLUS VALUE from rowProject.key> " + rowProject.key + "</a></td>"
to
`<td>${rowProject.key}</td>`;

Passing argument to on click event of dynamically generated element

I am trying to pass arguments to onclick event of dynamically generated element. I have already seen the existing stackoveflow questions but it didn't answer my specific need.In this existing question , they are trying to access data using $(this).text(); but I can't use this in my example.
Click event doesn't work on dynamically generated elements
In below code snippet, I am trying to pass program and macroVal to onclick event but it doesn't work.
onClickTest = function(text, type) {
if(text != ""){
// The HTML that will be returned
var program = this.buffer.program;
var out = "<span class=\"";
out += type + " consolas-text";
if (type === "macro" && program) {
var macroVal = text.substring(1, text.length-1);
out += " macro1 program='" + program + "' macroVal='" + macroVal + "'";
}
out += "\">";
out += text;
out += "</span>";
console.log("out " + out);
$("p").on("click" , "span.macro1" , function(e)
{
BqlUtil.myFunction(program, macroVal);
});
}else{
var out = text;
}
return out;
};
console.log of out give me this
<span class="macro consolas-text macro1 program='test1' macroVal='test2'">{TEST}</span>
I have tried both this.program and program but it doesn't work.

Obtain values of span element attributes, since you include them in html:
$("p").on("click" , "span.macro" , function(e)
{
BqlUtil.myFunction(this.getAttribute("program"),
this.getAttribute("macroVal"));
});
There are, however, several things wrong in your code.
you specify class attribute twice in html assigned to out,
single quotes you use are not correct (use ', not ’),
quotes of attribute values are messed up: consistently use either single or double quotes for attribute values
var out = "<span class='";
...
out += "' class='macro' program='" + program + "' macroVal='" + macroVal + ;
...
out += "'>";
depending on how many times you plan to call onClickTest, you may end up with multiple click event handlers for p span.macro.

edit (append?) a string stored in a jquery variable

I am bringing a big html string inside an ajax call that I want to modify before I use it on the page. I am wondering if it is possible to edit the string if i store it in a variable then use the newly edited string. In the success of the ajax call this is what I do :
$.each(data.arrangement, function() {
var strHere = "";
strHere = this.htmlContent;
//add new content into strHere here
var content = "<li id=" + this.id + ">" + strHere + "</li>";
htmlContent is the key for the chunk of html code I am storing in the string. It has no problem storing the string (I checked with an alert), but the issue is I need to target a div within the stored string called .widgteFooter, and then add some extra html into that (2 small divs). Is this possible with jquery?
Thanks

Convert the string into DOM elements:
domHere = $("<div>" + strHere + "</div>");
Then you can update this DOM with:
$(".widgetFooter", domHere).append("<div>...</div><div>...</div>");
Then do:
var content = "<li id=" + this.id + ">" + domHere.html() + "</li>";

An alternative way to #Barmar's would be:
var domHere = $('<div/>').html( strHere ).find('.widgetFooter')
.append('<div>....</div>');
Then finish with:
var content = '<li id="' + this.id + '">' + domHere.html() + '</li>';

You can manipulate the string, but in this case it's easier to create elements from it and then manipulate the elements:
var elements = $(this.htmlContent);
elements.find('.widgteFooter').append('<div>small</div><div>divs</div>');
Then put the elements in a list element instead of concatenating strings:
var item = $('<li>').attr('id', this.id).append(elements);
Now you can append the list element wherever you did previously append the string. (There is no point in turning into a string only to turn it into elements again.) Example:
$('#MyList').append(item);

Javascript add event listener in a foreach loop only last entry works

I have a function which goes through an Array and adds <h3> elements to a div. Then it adds an event listener (an onclick) to the current <h3> element, but only the last element which goes through the function is set by the onclick.
var runstr = [];
//txt comes from the content of a tab separated textfile spilt by '\n'
txt.forEach(function (lcb) { //lcb goes through each line of txt
lcb = lcb.split(" ", 30); //split the line by tab
//MainContent_Infralist is a div where the <h3> elements are listed and lcb[2] is the title
document.getElementById("MainContent_Infralist").innerHTML =
document.getElementById("MainContent_Infralist").innerHTML +
'<h3 class="Infraa" id="' + "Infralist_" + lcb[2] + '">' + lcb[2] + '</h3>';
//I put the id into an array to get the index of the marker later
runstr.push("Infralist_" + lcb[2]);
//I'm working with openlayers here i try to set the entry of
//the list.onlick to trigger a mousedown on a marker.
//And there is the problem: It works, but only for the last entry of my <h3> list...
document.getElementById("Infralist_" + lcb[2]).onclick = function () {
var theM = runstr.indexOf("Infralist_" + lcb[2]);
markers.markers[theM].events.triggerEvent('mousedown');
};
};

The problem is here:
document.getElementById("MainContent_Infralist").innerHTML =
document.getElementById("MainContent_Infralist").innerHTML +
'<h3 class="Infraa" id="' + "Infralist_" + lcb[2] + '">' + lcb[2] + '</h3>';
Every time you assign to innerHTML, you're basically deleting all stuff and adding it all over again. This causes all event listeners to break.
That's the reason why only last one works - it's the only one after assigning which there is no more innerHTML manipulation.
To fix this, create your elements using document.createElement() and append them using element.appendChild().
It could look like:
var header = document.createElement('h3');
header.id = 'Infralist_' + lcb[2];
header.className = 'Infraa';
header.textContent = lcb[2];
document.getElementById('MainContent_Infralist').appendChild(header);
header.onclick = function () {
// you function here
}

Javascript Parameter Passing Not Working

The code dynamically creates a listview which works but i want to make it so when a listview item is clicked it sends the a url paramater to another method. When i set a paramater it doesnt alert the paramater, but when i give no parameter it works.
var output =
"<li onclick='openURL()'><h3> Module Code: " +
results.rows.item(i).module
+ "</h3>Room: "
+ results.rows.item(i).room +
"</li>";
The above works - No parameter in openURL();
var output =
"<li onclick='openURL('" + results.rows.item(i).url + "')'><h3> Module Code: " +
results.rows.item(i).module
+ "</h3>Room: "
+ results.rows.item(i).room +
"</li>";
The above doesnt work - I have done alert(results.rows.item(i).url) and it has a value.
function openURL(url) {
alert("opening url " + url);
}
Could someone explain what i'm doing wrong, i've been trying to solve the problem for hours.
Cheers!

You are using single quotes to open the HTML attribute, you can't use it as JavaScript String because you'll be closing the HTML attribute, use double quotes:
var output =
"<li onclick='openURL(\"" + results.rows.item(i).url + "\")'><h3> Module Code: " +
results.rows.item(i).module
+ "</h3>Room: "
+ results.rows.item(i).room +
"</li>";
