在 Javascript onClick 事件中传递参数

Question

I'm trying to pass a parameter in the onclick event. Below is a sample code:

<div id="div"></div>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
   var div = document.getElementById('div');

   for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
       var link = document.createElement('a');
       link.setAttribute('href', '#');
       link.innerHTML = i + '';
       link.onclick=  function() { onClickLink(i+'');};
       div.appendChild(link);
       div.appendChild(document.createElement('BR'));
       }

   function onClickLink(text) {
       alert('Link ' + text + ' clicked');
       return false;
       }
    </script>

However whenever I click on any of the links the alert always shows 'Link 10 clicked'!

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

This happens because the i propagates up the scope once the function is invoked. You can avoid this issue using a closure.

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
   var link = document.createElement('a');
   link.setAttribute('href', '#');
   link.innerHTML = i + '';
   link.onclick = (function() {
      var currentI = i;
      return function() { 
          onClickLink(currentI + '');
      }
   })();
   div.appendChild(link);
   div.appendChild(document.createElement('BR'));
}

Or if you want more concise syntax, I suggest you use Nick Craver's solution.

Answer 2

This is happening because they're all referencing the same i variable, which is changing every loop, and left as 10 at the end of the loop. You can resolve it using a closure like this:

link.onclick = function(j) { return function() { onClickLink(j+''); }; }(i);

You can give it a try here

Or, make this be the link you clicked in that handler, like this:

link.onclick = function(j) { return function() { onClickLink.call(this, j); }; }(i);

You can try that version here

Answer 3

link.onclick = function() { onClickLink(i+''); };

Is a closure and stores a reference to the variable i , not the value that i holds when the function is created. One solution would be to wrap the contents of the for loop in a function do this:

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) (function(i) {
    var link = document.createElement('a');
    link.setAttribute('href', '#');
    link.innerHTML = i + '';
    link.onclick=  function() { onClickLink(i+'');};
    div.appendChild(link);
    div.appendChild(document.createElement('BR'));
}(i));

Another simple way ( might not be the best practice) but works like charm. Build the HTML tag of your element(hyperLink or Button) dynamically with javascript, and can pass multiple parameters as well.

// variable to hold the HTML Tags 
var ProductButtonsHTML  ="";

//Run your loop
for (var i = 0; i < ProductsJson.length; i++){
// Build the <input> Tag with the required parameters for Onclick call. Use double quotes.

ProductButtonsHTML += " <input type='button' value='" + ProductsJson[i].DisplayName + "'  
onclick = \"BuildCartById('" + ProductsJson[i].SKU+ "'," + ProductsJson[i].Id + ")\"></input> ";

}

// Add the Tags to the Div's innerHTML.
document.getElementById("divProductsMenuStrip").innerHTML = ProductButtonsHTML;

It is probably better to create a dedicated function to create the link so you can avoid creating two anonymous functions. Thus:

<div id="div"></div>

<script>
  function getLink(id)
  {
    var link = document.createElement('a');
    link.setAttribute('href', '#');
    link.innerHTML = id;
    link.onclick = function()
    {
      onClickLink(id);
    };
    link.style.display = 'block';
    return link;
  }
  var div = document.getElementById('div');
  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i += 1)
  {
    div.appendChild(getLink(i.toString()));
  }
</script>

Although in both cases you end up with two functions, I just think it is better to wrap it in a function that is semantically easier to comprehend.

Answer 6

onclick vs addEventListener. A matter of preference perhaps (where IE>9).

// Using closures
function onClickLink(e, index) {   
    alert(index);
    return false;
}

var div = document.getElementById('div');

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    var link = document.createElement('a');

    link.setAttribute('href', '#');
    link.innerHTML = i + '';
    link.addEventListener('click', (function(e) {
        var index = i;
        return function(e) {
            return onClickLink(e, index);
        }
    })(), false);
    div.appendChild(link);
    div.appendChild(document.createElement('BR'));
}

How abut just using a plain data-* attribute, not as cool as a closure, but..

function onClickLink(e) {       
    alert(e.target.getAttribute('data-index'));
    return false;
}

var div = document.getElementById('div');

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    var link = document.createElement('a');

    link.setAttribute('href', '#');
    link.setAttribute('data-index', i);
    link.innerHTML = i + ' Hello';        
    link.addEventListener('click', onClickLink, false);
    div.appendChild(link);
    div.appendChild(document.createElement('BR'));
}

Answer 7

Try this:

<div id="div"></div>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
   var div = document.getElementById('div');

   for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
       var f = function() {
           var link = document.createElement('a');
           var j = i; // this j is scoped to our anonymous function
                      // while i is scoped outside the anonymous function,
                      //  getting incremented by the for loop
           link.setAttribute('href', '#');
           link.innerHTML = j + '';
           link.onclick=  function() { onClickLink(j+'');};
           div.appendChild(link);
           div.appendChild(document.createElement('br')); // lower case BR, please!
       }(); // call the function immediately
   }

   function onClickLink(text) {
       alert('Link ' + text + ' clicked');
       return false;
   }
</script>

Answer 8

or you could use this line:

 link.setAttribute('onClick', 'onClickLink('+i+')');

instead of this one:

link.onclick=  function() { onClickLink(i+'');};

Answer 9

This will work from JS without coupling to HTML:

document.getElementById("click-button").onclick = onClickFunction;

function onClickFunction()
{
    return functionWithArguments('You clicked the button!');
}

function functionWithArguments(text) {
    document.getElementById("some-div").innerText = text;
}
