need help in javascript code.

[doforumda]

I have a javascript code and want to extend this code now. how can I write a makeAMessenger function in global scope so that it triggers when user clicks document and alert

 

THIS. IS. SPART.

 

currently I have following code.

 

function initiateMadness() {	
var sparta = {
        name : "Sparta"
    };

    function madness() {
    	alert("THIS. IS. " + this.name.toUpperCase() + ".");
}

document.onclick = makeAMessenger(madness, sparta);
}

initiateMadness();

jQuery FTW!

var foo = { name: 'sparta' };
$(document).live('click', function(){
alert('THIS. IS. ' + foo.name);
});

I want to use the same code which I have in my original thread. I want to extend it.

I'd also use jQuery because it's so much easier in the long run. If you don't want to do that, you need to look at the onClick() event in pure JS.

Loading an entire library to do this? It's MADNESS I TELL YOU!

 

I don't see the issue exactly. If you want a make a function available to the global scope, just define it in the global scope :/

 

I'm not sure why/what you're trying to do, but I think this accomplishes what you want

 

<script type="text/javascript">
function doSomething( func, obj ) {
	func(obj.name);
}
function init() {
	var innerObj = { name : 'object' };
	var innerFunc = function( string ) {
		alert( 'THIS. IS. '+ string.toUpperCase() +'.' )
	}
	document.onclick = function() {
		doSomething( innerFunc, innerObj );
	}
}
init();
</script>

 

There are MUCH easier ways to do this, though.

You know he's going to do more later on :-P

Yeah, but jQuery is just so bloated. I wouldn't use it at all if I wasn't sure almost everyone has it cached anyways (I default to Google's hosted version )

 

Even without jQuery, it's just

 

<script type="text/javascript">
var obj = { name : 'sparta' };
document.onclick = function() { alert('THIS. IS. '+ obj.name.toUpperCase() +'.'); }
</script>
