I have anchor tag and on click of it I am trying to pass parameters into the function but I am getting the error uncaught ReferenceError: testbody is not defined. 

<a onClick="editComment(<%= comment.body%>)">Edit Comment</a>

testbody is the value stores in db and its of type text. Strangely when I pass something which is integer then no error is shown.

If I remember you need to add quote marks like so around the erb.

<a onClick="editComment('<%= comment.body%>')">Edit Comment</a>

be sure to use escape_javascript in case comment.body contains single or double quotes.
