    Hello,

    What is the proper way to pass an argument to a function in jQuery?

    I want to pass a color to a function to update multiple css attributes

    I would think it would be something like below, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

    thanks

    I can’t see why this would be any different from vanilla javascript. My best advice would be to start reading here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Default_parameters and further.

    There is an exception for example when you do something like this: button.addEventListener('click', myFunction);, in that case the argument passed is the event.
    It’s jQuery equivalent would be something like this: $('button').on('click', myFunction);
    Passing an argument to that function would then be something like this: $('button').on('click', myFunction('test'));.
    And if you still want to have the event in your array of arguments you can do something like this: $('button').on('click', function (e) { myFunction(e, 'test') });

    I’m noticing a trend in these forums where a relevant question is posted, then after a reply it’s re-posted with links in, with the text “thanks my issue has been fixed”. I think these are fake questions with the sole goal to get people to click those links.
