Passing a ABAP View atribute into a javascript func as a parameter

Guys,

This must be really simple ,but I am missing something

I need to pass a view attribute lv_name into a javscript

function written in the view.

e.g

function do_something(name) {

}

My call looks line do_something(lv_name) on a onClientclick of a button.But that does not work.

Appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Manoj
