There's no problem wth the function. It works fine.
I narrowed down on the problem. When I pass a numeric parameter like "12" through onclick="highlightSpot(' + spot.name + ');", it works fine.
However, it does not work when I pass a text parameter like "ABC".

I have an alert command as the first line of the function.
The alert works fine with numeric parameters but not otherwise.
