Mirko, You were missing a small but significant point. The function you call must return a function.
$('#moon').click(myFunction('param')); $('#earth').click(myFunction('param2')); function myFunction(param) { return function() { alert(param); }; } I suggest studying this pattern closely; it's one of the most powerful aspects of Javascript. -Kelly On Jun 13, 9:07 am, Mirko Galassi <mirko.gala...@ymail.com> wrote: > Hi guys, apologize for posting again the same topic.
