I am selecting some checkboxes and then sending the ID of those checkboxes to a button in a HTML page

After selecting the checkboxes the IDs are stored in an object selectedIDs. This object is passed to the button. When I debugged and checked, the object received the IDs as I want i.e. '1','2','3'

But as soon as it is passed to the button it is received as '1,2,3' but I want them to be receives as '1','2','3'

What I have tried:

I tried few solutions but none of them worked

1. <button type="button" onclick="save('<%- selectedIDs %>')">Save</button>

2. <button type="button" onclick="save(['<%- selectedIDs %>'])">Save</button>

I am not able to render the IDs as I want. How can I do it?

Not clear how the selectedIDs is being generated. I think the following

save(['<%= selectedIDs %>'])

should work if

selectedIDs = '1','2','3'

A quick work around, in the save function, use the split() function to split the selectedIDs into array object

String.prototype.split() | MDN[^]
