how can I prevent javascript from evaluating function parameters
<p>I'm a javascript noob taking a crack at making minesweeper. I am passing HTML element ID strings to a function. The strings have the format row hyphen column. So the top left cell would be 1-1. My function is evaluating these strings as if they were expressions. So...</p>

<pre><code>function notMine(id){
alert(id) //If the incoming id=4-4, this pops up 0. I want it to pop up 4-4
</code></pre>

<p>How can I fix this?</p>
