addEventListener using for loop and passing values [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use Function Binding.You dont need use closures.See below:

Before:

function addEvents(){
   var elem = document.getElementsByClassName("triggerClass");

   for(var i=0; i < elem.length; i+=2){
      var k = i + 1;
      var boxa = elem[i].parentNode.id;
      var boxb = elem[k].parentNode.id;

      elem[i].addEventListener("click", function(){makeItHappen(boxa,boxb);}, false);
      elem[k].addEventListener("click", function(){makeItHappen(boxb,boxa);}, false);
   }
}

After:

function addEvents(){
   var elem = document.getElementsByClassName("triggerClass");

   for(var i=0; i < elem.length; i+=2){
        var k = i + 1;
      var boxa = elem[i].parentNode.id;
      var boxb = elem[k].parentNode.id;
      elem[i].addEventListener("click", makeItHappen.bind(this, boxa, boxb), false);
      elem[k].addEventListener("click", makeItHappen.bind(this, boxa, boxb), false);
   }
}
