Use Event Arguments With Other Arguments?

Here's what I want to do: function someEvent(e) { } onxxxx='someEvent()' and turn that into: function someEvent(e, arg1, arg2) { } onxxxx='someEvent(???)' So basically, I want

Solution 1:

You can pass the event object as an argument:

onxxxx="someEvent(event, arg1, arg2);"

event must be literal event here.

Within the eventhandler function you find them like so:

functionsomeEvent(e, a, b) {
    // e === event object// a === arg1// b === arg2
}

Solution 2:

You could use anonymous functions:

var arg1 = "12345 - test", arg2 = 42;

onxxxxx = function(e) {
    someEvent.call(this, e, arg1, arg2);
};
