IE / FF onclick behaviour and "this"

Hello World,

the code below shows 2 elements with "onClicks".

In IE all 3 values are alerted when clicking one of the elements
In FF only "this.id" is alerted on the table element and "this.id" and
"this.name" on the button element.

Is it possible to pass anything other than "this.id" (or a const
string) to a function which fired by onclick in FF?

In IE I can pass the whole object as argument: <td name="coolname"
onclick=myfunc( this );and get the values in the function: function
myfunc( Owner ) { alert( Owner.name ); } --- that can make a lot of
things very easy...

Is there a way to get something like that work on FF?

<html>
<body>

<button name="buttonNam e" id="buttonId"
individualattri bute="individua lValue" onclick="alert( this.name + '\n'
+ this.id + '\n' + this.individual attribute );">click me</button>

<table border=1 name="tableName ">
<tr name="trName">
<td name="tdName" id="tdId" individualattri bute="individua lValue"
onclick="alert( this.name + '\n' + this.id + '\n' +
this.individual attribute );">
also 4 testing
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

I'm trying to gain a better understanding of javascript by studying examples. I noticed this in an online tutorial. I don't get the use of "this". >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You might want to add some event handler for an event to an element to which there is already an event handler attached. That is possible by storing the old event handler somewhere and then writing a new function which calls the old event handler.

I'd like to make the following a generic method that all my forms can call to validate all the fields on the form. So how do I pass the form object that is represented as "this" in the following code, and how do I retrieve the list of all controls and child controls on that form (since I don't think I can just refer to Controls). #region AnyFieldErrors private bool AnyFieldErrors() {
