JavaScript: Get Function calling HTML-Object

Hey, yes, I know that with [funcname].caller or arguments.callee.caller you can get a reference to the function which called the actual function, BUT - the following scenario开发者_如何学Go:

<a href="#" onclick="return something()">Test</a>

Inside of something() I have no chance to get to the A-Tag, even with the .caller reference, unless I alter the script in the following way:

<a href="#" onclick="return something(this)">Test</a>

With "this" I'm passing my A-Tag reference to the function but is there a way to get the A-Tag reference without explicitly passing it to the function?

Well, I think this is doing fine, it's just one word of code and it doesn't harm.Using jquery you can do this way

$(function(){
    $("body").delegate("a", "click", function(){
        alert($(this).html());
    });
});

//Both code will work for you

$(function(){
    $('a').click(
        function(){
            alert($(this).html());
        }
    );
})
