Answer 1

instead of passing parameters, use...

function handleMouseEvent(e)
{
    var evt = e || window.event;
    //here you can get id by using evt.srcElement.id
}

or use this...

function doSomething(e) {
    var rightclick;
    if (!e) var e = window.event;
    if (e.which) rightclick = (e.which == 3);
    else if (e.button) rightclick = (e.button == 2);
    alert('Rightclick: ' + rightclick); // true or false
}

Look this,

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onmousedown

Firefox itself passes event parameter to the function.

I've modified the MDN function to help you.

<html>
<head>

<title>onmousedown test</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

window.onmousedown = mousedown;

function mousedown(e){ 
 console.log(e.pageX);
 console.log(e.pageY);
 console.log(e.target)
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<p>click and hold down the LH mouse button<br />
 on the page to fire the mousedown event.</p>
