How pass mouse event?

[sajan]

Hi How can we pass mouse events through a dynamically generated elements function?eg

newdiv.onmousedown = function(){fn_name(divname,event);}

when i pass the event i get undefined.What may be the reason?

Try this.

newdiv.onmousedown = function(event){fn_name(divname,event||window.event);}

or, since the function is being called from a pre-set onmousedown event, you could just pass 'mousedown' as a string to the function.
