arguments for onmouseover

[Wim Roffal]

I want to set an onmousover function with arguments:

<a id="test" href="test.htm">testje</a>

anchor = document.getElementById("test");
anchor.onmouseover = function(){ anchorMouseover(this,event) };

function anchorMouseover(anchor,event)
{ ...
}

In this code "this" will provide the anchor, but I can't find a way to get
the event. Can anyone give me some suggestions how to do get this?

Thanks a lot...

Why do you want to specify the event?

You already know [and the code knows] the event is onmouseover.

Try

anchor.onmouseover = function(event){ anchorMouseover(this,event) };

I want to set an onmousover function with arguments:

<a id="test" href="test.htm">testje</a>

anchor = document.getElementById("test");
anchor.onmouseover = function(){ anchorMouseover(this,event) };

anchor.onmouseover = function (evt) {
if (typeof evt == 'undefined') {
evt = window.event;
}
anchorMouseover(this, evt);
}
should deal with both Mozilla and DOM browsers passing the event as an
argument and with IE and compatible using window.event.
