Nar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Monks, I am writing a page using CGI::AJAX and I have run into some problems trying to all multiple events through an onclick action that are not part of the perl script itself. The following code works when I am not using CGI:AJAX:
<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick=display(this)>Click Here</a>
However when I use CGI:AJAX when the page loads I am getting an 'Unterminated string constant error'. This is important because the javascript function I am trying to call, display, is local and not part of the perl function I am trying to reference. The final action I am attempting to complete is to retrieve a value from a sub in perl, load, and to execute the display javascript on the client side. Giving a final code similar to:
<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick=load(['value'],['return_numbers'] +);display(this); />Click Here</a>
How do I call the display javascript function in a way that it does not attempt to refrence a sub in perl?
