Passing parameters with event object

[mastermindssj2]

I want to pass parameters to function trigerred by click, where first parameter is event object and second is for example some string. I've got something like that:

function load() {
	var modal = document.getElementById('modal');
	modal.addEventListener('click', function () {placeDiv(event, 'orange')} )
}

function placeDiv(e, color) {
	alert(e.button+' '+color); //test
}

It works fine in IE and Opera but in FF nothing happens. Can anyone solve this problem? Thanks in advance

modal.addEventListener('click', function (event) {placeDiv(event, 'orange');} );

That should work, but I prefer to explicitly write it as something like:

modal.addEventListener('click', function (e) {e = e || window.event; placeDiv(e, 'orange');} );

I'm a fan of semi-colons too as you can see!

In fact, as far as I know you don't need to pass window.event as a parameter at all in IE, but you absolutely do in Firefox, they only have the W3C model.
