Not able to pass values to event handler on button click

I have put a simple eventhanlder for my button click and passed two arguments upon clicking it. Hi is undefined error is throwing. If i put "Hi" (in double quotes) the event handler is doesnt fire at all. May i know what needs to be addressed.

I need this exactly as in my requirement I have to pass something like <%#(string)DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Category")%> when a repeater row is clicked.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head runat="server">
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <script type ="text/javascript" language = "javascript">
        function OnClickeHandler(i, j) {
            debugger;
        }
    </script>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
        <input type ="button" id = "myButton" value = "Click" onclick = "OnClickeHandler(1,Hi)" />
        </div>
        </form>
    </body>
    </html>

Use single quotes to pass hi as string

Onclick="OnClickeHandler(1,'Hi')"

In HTML when you write any attributes you cover them with single quote of double quite

Like following both are valid. 

onclick="abc()" 
onclick='abc()'

JavaScript can cover sting by both single quote or double quote and you also need to make sure that why passing string you don't break html.

All following are valid

onclick="abc('xyz')" 
onclick='abc("xyz")'
onclick="abc('x\'yz')"      ------ passing '  as string 
onclick='abc("xy\"z")'      ------ passing "  as string

You just need to make sure that what ever quote you are using to cover html attribute you don't use that in function call or value of attribute.

you need to put Hi in single quotes : 'Hi', as the call to the function is already in double quotes
