Question

I had this row:

echo "<td style='width:11%' id='client_quote_tr' name='client_quote_tr' onclick='changeColorTaskClientQuote(this);'>".$r['task']."</td>";

What’s the value of ‘this‘? I mean it gets the value of attribute name, or what else?

Answer 1

Debug it. Add a console.log line. Open up the console. Click on the td and see what appears.

function changeColorTaskClientQuote(obj) {
    console.log(obj);
}

You will see it passes a reference to the element you clicked on. Very handy.
