[jQuery] grab parameters from function

[GARIL]

<div id="h1">
  <a href="" onClick="showIt(first,second,third);">Click me</a>
</div>

Is it possible to grab the first,second,third parameters of the showIt
function above so that I can pass the same parameters to another
function?

I managed to get the event itself using:
    $("div.hitarea").next().attr("onclick")

but I don't know how to continue...
