You can access the arguments passed to a function via the arguments property. That should work:
function showIt() { otherFunction.apply(null, $.makeArray(arguments)); } That way you don't even have to specify the arguments explicitly and could have variable arguments length. arguments is an array like object, thus you can acess a single arguments via index: function showIt() { alert('First argument: ' + arguments[0]); } --Klaus On 10 Okt., 06:55, GARIL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <div id="h1"> > <a href="" onClick="showIt(first,second,third);">Click me</a> > </div> > > Is it possible to grab the first,second,third parameters of the showIt > function above so that I can pass the same parameters to another > function? > > I managed to get the event itself using: > $("div.hitarea").next().attr("onclick") > > but I don't know how to continue...
