Defining JavaScript Event Object

Question

Why am I getting an error for this piece of code?:

function catchevent() 
{
    eventSrcID=(event.srcElement)?event.srcElement.id:\'undefined\';

    eventty         


        

Answer 1

you forgot to pass event in parameters.

function catchevent(event) 
{
    eventSrcID=(event.srcElement)?event.srcElement.id:'undefined';

    eventtype=event.type;

    status=eventSrcID+' has received a '+eventtype+' event.';
}
