Calling and Handling External Javascript with Parameters

[steve_wolk (steve)]

I’ve searched exhaustively and can’t find the answer. I know how to link an external Javascript file and call a function in it. I am unsure how to pass parameters to it.

Here’s how I’m calling an external Javascript function:

mytest(hypeDocument, element, event);

and here’s the function:
function mytest() {
alert ("test’);
}

That works fine. How do I add one or more parameters to the calling of the function, and where do I put those parameters in the Javascript function that receives. the call.

Creating a new function and passing a variable

@strmiska, @Photics, (@agent.pires) Guys! He is referring to the parameters / arguments in a function. Basically: function untitled(hypeDocument, element, event) Here hypeDocument, element and event are the arguments that are passed to the function. This is done via the Hype API. If they have not been declared then they are set to undefined. The API does not allow you to call a function with more than the specified amount of arguments. In that, I mean that you cannot pass an argument (par…

But basicly
mytest(hypeDocument, element, event,"foo");

and

function mytest() {
alert (arguments[3]);	
}

I kept the (hypeDocument, element, event) in as not sure if you really needed to pass them also for your goal…
