arguments for onmouseover

[Wim Roffal]

I want to set an onmousover function with arguments:

<a id="test" href="test.htm" >testje</a>

anchor = document.getEle mentById("test" );
anchor.onmouseo ver = function(){ anchorMouseover (this,event) };

function anchorMouseover (anchor,event)
{ ...
}

In this code "this" will provide the anchor, but I can't find a way to get
the event. Can anyone give me some suggestions how to do get this?

Thanks a lot...

Try

anchor.onmouseo ver = function(event) { anchorMouseover (this,event) };

anchor.onmouseo ver = function (evt) {
if (typeof evt == 'undefined') {
evt = window.event;
}
anchorMouseover (this, evt);
}
should deal with both Mozilla and DOM browsers passing the event as an
argument and with IE and compatible using window.event.

Why do you want to specify the event?

You already know [and the code knows] the event is onmouseover.
