Event fault in Firefox

I have a problem accessing the 'event' in Firefox. The following code works fine in Chrome, but in Firefox I get a "event is not defined" error.

<tr onclick="rowSelected('thisRowType')">
  ... row content ...
</tr>

<script ty开发者_运维问答pe="text/javascript">
    function rowSelected(type) {
        var eventRow = event.currentTarget; // here I get the error
    }
</script>

I understand that Firefox does not find any variable called event, but I have not been able to find anything other than 'event' should also be defined in Firefox.

So how could I access the current event in Firefox, or how should a redesign look like? Please note that I have different rows supplying different values for 'type'.

Try this instead:

function rowSelected(event, type) {
    var eventRow = event.currentTarget; // here I get the error
}

You where not allowing the event argument to be passed. Well, you were but it was being passed into the type variable. Now event will contain the currentTarget value.

EDIT

Oh wait! You wish to pass the row type too.

This should do it!

<tr onclick="rowSelected(event, 'thisRowType')">
  ... row content ...
</tr>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function rowSelected(event, type) {
        var eventRow = event.currentTarget; // here I get the error
        alert(type);
    }
</script>
