Send variable from function javascript

Question

I have a code

 socket.on('user joined',function(data){
       var ume = data.username;
        $('#userlist').append("<li id='"+ume+"'><a href='#' onclick='prePrivate("+ume+"); return false;'>"+ume+"</a></li>");
        console.log(ume);
 });

and prePrivate method

  function prePrivate(userprivate){
        privateuser = userprivate;
        console.log(privateuser);
  }

When i click li element, console print

<li id="sample_data">

but not print sample_data. I do not understand, how to get variable. Sorry my english not good

example: ume = "hoang" , i want console print hoang, but console print

You need to add quotes around ume in the prePrivate call in the string that you are building: ...onclick='prePrivate(\""+ume+"\");...

Without them you are calling prePrivate(sample_data) and sample_data happens to be the DOM li element you just id'ed with that same name instead of a string. Why? See Do DOM tree elements with ids become global variables?
