Get span id

[guitardave78]

Hi, how do i test for the id of a span element when it is clicked on?

i have code that on right mouse click does a copyright script, but i want to be able to exclude a particluar span id

<span id=&quot;mySpan&quot; onClick=&quot;alert(this.id)&quot;>Some Text</span>

is there a way do do it with out a click event on the span so in a function it can actually check to see if the span id is ignore or somthing?

 

[guitardave78]

the reason being that the span content is an href so i need it to work on right click

i used the onmousedown and set a variable in a function that overides the copyright script!
onmousedown="id_get()"

thanks
