Problem with function arguments

[crazy boy]

Hi,
I have such function:

function trigger() {
  var trigger_arg_1 = arguments[0];
  arguments[0].change( function (trigger_arg_1) {
  mainFunction(trigger_arg_1); // now I need to pass the object like "sk" to mainFunction()
  return false;
  });  
}

And activating code:

window.onload = function() {
  sk=$("select[name=group]","fieldset#gramar");
  // ... and other objects here
  trigger(sk); // to assign a event to sk.object
  // ... and other event assignments here
};

This should to assign event onchange to object sk. Onchange call mainFunction(). Here I need to pass the object like "sk" or similar to mainFunction(). Problem happened. I debug mainFunction():

console.log(thisEl.type); // shows "change"
console.log(thisEl); // * shows event object

* - I think here should be the element object, not the function... I used to use this for "select" elements and it work. But I did some little changes with JS and now does not. So I need to find some way how to fix it. Maybe somebody would help me?

Thanx

$(this) is the normal way to refer to the element in jQuery. And I reiterate my advise from the earlier thread, and add to it. I'd suggest that you learn to do this sort of thing with standard DOM methods first, then use a library.

I have learned the anonymouse functions.

Maybe better solution would be to call that function as so:

sk.trigger(); // this would assign mainFunction to onchange event of sk object
obj2.trigger();
obj3.trigger();
etc.

But I don't how to do It. There is another point of view. I use the main function on other way:

<input id="xx1" name="xx1" type="text" onkeyup="mainFunction('restart', event, this)">

I would need a suggestion what code structure to use.

I think the main thing of trigger function is that it needs the argument of what object I want to assign main function to. There for trigger(sk);

Maybe this would be correct solution?

  sk.onchange = mainFunction(sk);

No, that assigns the value of mainFunction to sk.onchange, which would only be correct if mainFunction returns a function. You probably want this.

sk.onchange = function () {
mainFunction(sk);
};

If you want access to e (window.event in IE), you'll need to pass that manually to mainFunction.
