Getting calling component in JS

[lifeform]

Hi everyone. I have a form with 50 comboboxes, and I need to call essentially the same function in the Javascript OnChange event. I could duplicate the same code fifty times but I'm way too lazy for that. .

The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to discover the component that called the function.

To illustrate the issue, I've created a simple function as follows, and configured the OnChange JS event in each of the comboboxes to call it (the comboboxes are called cbo1, cbo2...cbo50):

PHP Code:

function cboJSChange($sender, $params)
{
?>
      var calledfrom = "<?php echo($sender->Name); ?>";
      alert(calledfrom);
<?php
}

This works fine for the first component, and I get an alert box with cbo1 in it.

The problem is that the alert also says cbo1 when I change cbo2, and cbo3 etc.

How can I discover which component called the JS function?

Might have to tweak it some but wouldn't the same thing from dbrepeater work?

Thanks, as always, 405hp. Yes, that was the clue.

Here's how it works:

PHP Code:

function cboJSChange($sender, $params) 
{ 
?> 
      var calledfrom = event.target || event.srcElement;
      alert(calledfrom); 
<?php 
}

Simple, when you know how...
