Javascript click event listener on multiple elements and get target ID

I have a javascript file that sets an EventListener of \'click\' on every element with the

tag. I want to get the id of the article clicked when

Answer 1

You are not passing an article object to redirect as a parameter.

Try this (EDIT):

articles = document.getElementsByTagName('article');
for (var i = 0; i < articles.length; i++) {
    articles[i].addEventListener('click',redirect,false);
}
function redirect(ev){
    alert(ev.target.id);
}

Hope, it will solve the bug.
