Accessing sender in JS anonymous event handlers

jvvg

I'm trying to dynamically create a button in JS, and the onclick function requires the sender.

The code runs when a certain action is triggered and looks like this:

var newSubmit = document.createElement('input');
...
newSubmit.onclick = function() {
};

I want to be able to access the button that sent it from inside the function. How would I do that?

Is it a property of the event object passed to the on click handler? Did you try `this`?

I'm kind of dumb sometimes.

Using “this” inside the function worked fine.

Glad to hear
