Pass an event to a dynamicly created function in IE

[pronerd]

Hi,

I am trying to find the correct syntax to pass an event object to a dynamically created function. When I do something like

object.onclick = new Funtion(" myFunction(event, someVar); ");

I get an error saying event is not defined. I found I can do this in FireFox.

object.onclick = funtion(event) { myFunction(event, someVar); };
object.onclick = new Funtion("event, someVar ", "myFunction(event, someVar);" };


But in IE the event object is passed as undefined. Does any one know how to do this in IE?

IE don't pass the event object to the function to which it is attached.
It stores the most resent event in the property window.event.

so the code you have to add for this is simply
function (ev){
/*if ev would be undefined then it would be read from window.event*/
ev = ev || wondow.event;
..
..
}

it will solve your problem.

Thanks I remembered that last night, but was too tired to post the solustion.

Any idea why this passes the Event in IE
<span id="someTestTag" onclick="myFunction(event);" >


But this does not?

<span id="someTestTag" onclick="myFunction(event);" >
document.getElementById( 'someTestTag' ).onclick = function(event) { myFunction(event); };

Will do. I have worked with this, but only on the Server side there are no real JS options
