using "this" object in a onclick method - difference with ie and firefox

When using firefox a onclick="func(this,...)" in a <a> node will result in
"this" beeing the <a> node while in IE it is the current document. Is there
a way to get the <a> node in both IE and firefox? (without retrieving it by name)

Hi Konrad,

I think that your best solution is probably using the id property and using javascript's getElementById method (but I think that if you use "this" as the method parameter then it might work).
