I'm creating a HTML element dynamically using javascript and I want to
assign a handler to its onmousedown.
var myNewElem;
....
myNewElem = function() { do_somthing(); }

The handler needs to be able to process the event argument that is
passed to it. i.e. the actual handler should look like this:
function mouseDownHandler(e)
{
// use e.event_details_etc
}

How do I do this?
myNewElem = function(e) { alert(e); }
doesn't seem to work. it just says 'e' is undefined.

myelem.onmousedown=function(e){doSomething(e||even t)}

function doSomething(e){

Tried it and the argument is always undefined (e or event)...

Try:


[element].onmousedown=x

function x(e){
alert((e||event).clientX)
}
