get class name from element with onclick

Question

Because of different reasons I can NOT use $(\'.class\').click or on(\'click\', function..)

So I really have to use the onclick=\"\" event from the html element.

Answer 1

you need to pass this reference when calling the function

try this

CLICK HERE
......  //same for others

jquery

function someFunction(obj,abc) {
        alert(abc);
        alert($(obj).attr('class'));

    }

with plain javascript (without Jquery)

function someFunction(obj,abc) {
        alert(obj.className);
}
