Question

so my javascript is a bit rusty..
i am trying to do this:

        var images = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
        for (var i = images.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            var image = images[i];
            if (image.className == "photo latest_img") {
                image.onclick = function() {
                    // here i will perform a different action depending on what image was clicked           
                    alert(image.src);
                }
            }
        };

i am just trying to assign a function handler, and that function should be aware of which image was clicked.

if i remember correctly, this was a 2 step process to assign a image handler, and pass a reference of that image.

what’s the safest cross browser way to do this?

Answer 1

inside the function use this:

image.onclick = function() {
    // here i will perform a different action depending on what image was clicked           
    alert(this.src);
}
