argument as object

[coffeecup]

how does a argument become a object ?.

i am under the understanding that the method/function is called with an object, object.method().

I can almost see how the argument/perimeter is used as a variable for the href attribute to be passed to the inside of the function.

i guess i need confirmation that a variable can invoke a method or how does that work. 

function farm(meow)
{
var source = meow.getAttribute("href");
}

Thank you

Yup, you can pass an object via a parameter.

 

It's common for links to have something like this:

<a href="default.html" onclick="return myFunc(this);">run myFunc()</a>

 

function myFunc(link) { 
   // do whatever with that dom element (e.g. link.href would return default.html
  return false;
}
