Hello! quick question..... I need to kow how to pass a variable to a function such as......

function test(){

var my_var=;
alert(my_var)
}

<a href=javascript:test();>TEST</a>

That's great that you got it sorted out, but you call yourself a "Programmer" and you had to ask how to pass a variable to a function?

Seriousy?

And who were you thanking?
