html “data-” attribute as javascript parameter

The easiest way to get data-* attributes is with element.getAttribute():

onclick="fun(this.getAttribute('data-uid'), this.getAttribute('data-name'), this.getAttribute('data-value'));"

Although I would suggest just passing this to fun(), and getting the 3 attributes inside the fun function:

onclick="fun(this);"

And then:

function fun(obj) {
    var one = obj.getAttribute('data-uid'),
        two = obj.getAttribute('data-name'),
        three = obj.getAttribute('data-value');
}

The new way to access them by property is with dataset, but that isn’t supported by all browsers. You’d get them like the following:

this.dataset.uid
// and
this.dataset.name
// and
this.dataset.value

Also note that in your HTML, there shouldn’t be a comma here:

data-name="bbb",
