Urgent - newbie needs help

[Pottypotsworth]

Hi guys

I need to know how I can get the calling objects name in a function or even better the calling objects id without having to add the id as an parameter for the funtion.


i got something like this

<span id=somename><a href=javascript:functionname(parm1, parm2, parm3)></span>
function somename(p1,p2,p2)
{
get calling objects id
do something
}

But I NEED to resolve it in the function without having to add a parm for it, and it has to replace an old function

please can u help?? i am a newbie

i'm not sure how to do what you want, but you might want to change the link like this: ><a href=&quot;javascript:void(0)&quot; onClick=&quot;functionname(parm1, parm2, parm3)&quot;></a> -Greg :-Q
