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

From jsfiddle you provided, edit your code like below and you'll get answer (class) properly.

CLICK HERE

function someFunction(obj,abc) {
    alert(abc);
    alert(obj.getAttribute('class'));   
}

Pass this as first argument and then access it in function with obj. After that you can use obj.getAttribute('class')
