Is it possible to figure out what html-tag an event was generated for?

Hi )

For example I have:

<input type="text" name="name" onclick="some_func_1();">

<input type="text" name="phone" onclick="some_func_2();">

Code (markup):

But I don't want to use a particular event-handler for each tag. I want to have one common event-handler for onclick-event that could be generated in both of "<input>" tags. And then my handler will do different things depending on which tag the event was generated for.

How can I figure out in my event-handler which tag the event was generated for?

The following example should help you:

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
function [B]some_func()[/B]
{
	alert([B]event.srcElement[/B].name);
}
</script>

<input type="text" name="name" onclick="[B]some_func();[/B]">

<input type="text" name="phone" onclick="[B]some_func();[/B]">

Code (markup):

Is that what you need?

 

Hi,
