Assign Button id to a variable using javascript-CodePudding

i tried getting the button id, setting it as a variable and set it as inner element of a paragraph tag. but it is failing, im not sure where i messed up the process.

here is what i have done so far.

dont worry about the innerhtml being wrong, it works when i replace it with string texts. i just removed the rest so its clearer

let me know if im missing some key information. ill edit it right away

<script>
function ViewDetail(clicked_id) {
          let btnid = obj.id;
          document.getElementById("outme").innerHTML = btnid;
        }
</script>

<a href="view.php?id=<?=$rows['id']?>" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="ViewDetail(this.id)" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">View</a>

        <div class="modal-body">
            <p id='outme'>default id</p>
        </div>

CodePudding user response：

Have added Id attributes in button:

 <script>
    function ViewDetail(btnid) {
              let btnid = obj.id;
              document.getElementById("outme").innerHTML = btnid;
            }
    </script>

Added Id attributes:

<a id="<?=$rows['id']?>" href="view.php?id=<?=$rows['id']?>" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="ViewDetail(this.id)" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">View</a>

        <div class="modal-body">
            <p id='outme'>default id</p>
        </div>
