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

Add this as an argument to the inline event handler:

CLICK HERE

Then use the className property of element to get the className

function someFunction(e,abc) {
      console.log(this);
      alert(e.className);
}
