Since "region" is not a valid HTML attribute, other ways is to set an
ID on the element and use that as a reference to data stored elsewhere
(e.g. a Javascript array or object).
Depending on whether you have a lot of data or not. Assuming you have
many onclicks on your page, here's another way to do it.
<script>
// JS object
var myData = {id1:'US', id2:'Europe', id3:'Antarctica'};
$("div.clickme").click(function() {
var id = this.id; // 'id1' or 'id2' or 'id3'
alert(myData.id); // 'US' or 'Europe' or 'Antarctica'
// alert(myData[id]); // same as above
});
</script>
<div id="id1" class="clickme">Text 1</div>
<div id="id2" class="clickme">Text 2</div>
<div id="id3" class="clickme">Text 3</div>
