Passing values to onclick [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you write a function which builds you a handler function, you can use the new scope which that gives you to ensure that you get the number you want. For example:

function BuildHandler (i) { return function () { alert(i); };

for (i= 1; i < 100; i++) {
    var my_element = document.createElement ("td");
    row.appendChild (my_element);
    my_element.onclick = BuildHandler(i);
}
