Determining which object fired event from event handler.

Billy Porte #1 / 3	Determining which object fired event from event handler. Greetings, Please see if you can help me with this one: //I create an img element var o = document.createElement("img"); //Then I assign an event handler it's onclick event o.onclick = itemClicked; //And finally, I append the new element to the body document.body.appendChild(o); This all works very fine. My problem is this: Suppose I add another img element, and assign that ones onclick event to the same event handler. How will I be able to determine which object has been clicked? function itemClicked() { alert("How do I know which object has been clicked from here?"); Quote: } I need to get this to work in both IE5+ and NS6+. Grateful for any help! -- Thanks /Billy
