Access the clicked element

Question

Hi,

I have an element like this:

<p id='foo' onclick='go()'>hi</p>

function go() {
}

how do I get access to the element that generated the click (the p element in this case)? Do I just do:

function go() {
    var clicked = this;
}

Thanks

Answer 1

Like this:

<p id='foo' onclick='go(this)'>hi</p>

function go(elem) {
}

Answer 2

You could pass this as an argument:

<p id='foo' onclick='go(this);'>hi</p>

function go(clicked) {
}
