You should do this instead because parameter's name aren't string :

io.to(socketid).emit("message_to_client",{message : data.message});

A property name can be quoted as a string just fine. It does not need to be quoted if it has no Javascript reserved characters in it, but with quotes will always work. This not a solution to the OP's issue. For your own info, w3schools is not considered a very thorough reference source by many. – jfriend00 Dec 30 '15 at 20:47
