Question

I have the javascript code for a link click:

 document.getElementById('giddy').onclick = function {
        alert(this.href);
    };

and I want to separate the function part of it…I have

 document.getElementById('giddy').onclick = poro(this);
    function poro(yyyy) {
        alert(yyyy.href);
    };

But it is not working (says undefined in the alert)…what am I doing wrong?

You don’t need to pass this as a parameter. this will be the context for the function when it is called. You should just have:

document.getElementById('giddy').onclick = poro;
function poro() {
    alert(this.href);
};
