passing object with an eventListener

[oneillc9]

Hi,

Is it possible to pass the object 'obj' like so and still be able to access the event properties:

this.addEventListener('mousedown', this.doSomething(obj), false);

and in the function 'doSomething', still be able to access the event properties?

for example:

doSomething:function(obj, e){
alert(obj); //should print '[object HTMLDivElement]'
alert(e); //hopefully print out '[object mouseEvent]'
}

I need to access both the object passed and the event properties.

Thanks in advance

What sort of 'obj' are we talking about? The one that fired the event should be available through event.srcElement.

Other than that... no, you cannot supply function parameters when using addEventListener.

Thank you. I eventually copped that I could get access through the event.target statement like you said. From there I was able to hop up and down the element tree and get at the elements I needed.
