Question

I am defining function func1();
I want it to take some param(s) ie

var func1(aaa, bbb){
//do something, anything!
};

then i want to call it later in the doc something like this:

$('#some_id').click(func1($this));

but its not working.

I’ve been messing with it for a while but its very strange the way jquery/javascript handles user defined functions to me at least. Can some1 provide me with simple code snippet? Thx

If all you want to pass is $(this), you don’t need the parameter, as it will be available inside the defined function.

$('#some_id').click(func1);

However, you can’t add parameters like this:

$('#some_id').click(func1(param1, param2));

Then, for your function definition, you just have

function func1() { }

If you do want parameters other than $(this), you will need to do the following:

$('#some_id').click(function () {
    func1(aaa, bbb); });
