Passing the Event Object to a Function in Jquery -

typically, can pass event anonymous jquery function so:

$(".click_me").on("click", function(e) { e.preventdefault(); });

now let's remove anonymous function still want pass event it:

function onclickme(e){ e.preventdefault(); } $(".click_me").on("click", onclickme(e));

unfortunately, doesn't work expected. error:

referenceerror: e not defined

so how else can pass event external function?

just pass function reference, jquery handle passing arguments (it always passes event first argument handler function). so:

function onclickme(e){ e.preventdefault(); } $(".click_me").on("click", onclickme);
