Well, maybe all is not lost. How about this, which uses jQuery inside the
function. Then you could call your plugin, I bet. Still not the best, but
perhaps it will work.
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<script src='jquery.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('a.detailLink').click(
function(event) {
//stop the events default action and propagation.
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
//run custom function.
//cutsom_function(parameters);
}
);
});
function custom_function(obj, varone, vartwo, varthree, varfour,
varfive)
{
var elem = $(obj);
alert("This: " + elem.attr('id') + "\n" +
"varone: " + varone + "\n" +
"vartwo: " + vartwo + "\n" +
"varthree: " + varthree + "\n" +
"varfour: " + varfour + "\n" +
"varfive: " + varfive );
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a id='link1' class="detailLink" href="#"
onclick="custom_function(this,1,2,3,4,5); return false;">More Details</a>
</body>
</html>
