How to get element from DOM and set onclick event?

Question

I have this html element:

<table id="miniToolbar">
     <tbody>          
        <tr><td>
          <button id="btnStrView" type="button" onclick='parent.ExecuteCommand()' class="button_air-medium">
            <img id="streetView" class="miniToolbarContant" src="../stdicons/streetview-icon.png"></button>
          </td></tr> 
    <tbody>
</table>     

as you can see inside button I have on click event:

onclick='parent.ExecuteCommand()'

And I have this JS function:

function isMenuItemMasked(item)
{
    var funcId = '75';

     var elem = document.getElementById('btnStrView');

    return false;
}

as you can see inside function I have variable called funcId.

I need to put this funcId to the on click event:

onclick='parent.ExecuteCommand('75')'

After I fetch element and put it inside elem variable how do I put funcId as parameter to parent.ExecuteCommand() ?

Answer 1

I think you want to set the function argument dynamically. Without using external libraries I would do as follows:

 function runSubmit() { var value = document.getElementById("text").value; document.getElementById("run").addEventListener('click', function() { func(value); }); } function func(value) { console.log(value); } 

 <input id="text" type="text"> <input type="submit" value="Setup Param" onclick="runSubmit()"> <input id="run" type="submit" value="Run with param"> 

^{How to use this: When you run the snippet, you will see a text input, a Setup Param button and a Run with param button. Insert something in the text input and click Setup Param. After, click on Run with param to see the effect}

The input text contains the string that will be used as parameter for func(value) . The update of #run button callback is triggered by the "Setup param", through the runSubmit() callback. This callback adds to the #run element a listener for the 'click' event, that runs a function with the parameter fixed when event occurs.

This is only a MCVE, you should adapt it to your case scenario.

Mh... Actually @jacob-goh gave you this exact solution in a comment while I wrote this...

you can use jquery to call you function from inside the function and pass your variable to that function.

function isMenuItemMasked(item)
{
 var funcId = "75";

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btnStrView").click(function(){
   parent.ExecuteCommand(funcId);
 });
});
}
function ExecuteCommand(your_var){
    alert(your_var);
    //your code
    }
