Passing Parameter Onclick, In A Loop
Im creating input elements in a loop. On click, these buttons are supposed to call a certain function with a certain Parameter, based on the Initial creation of the button element.
Solution 1:
You need to use an IIFE and create a new closure like
for (var i = 0; i < planets.length; i++){
var id = planets[i].id;
var input = document.createElement("input");
input.type = "button";
input.className = "worldButton";
input.value = "Choose this world";
input.onclick = (function(id, planets){
return function(){
game.pickWorld(planets, id);
}
})(id,planets);
}
What was happening is the variables planets
and id
were visible to the callback function and at execution time, were using the last iterated value.
However, with a closure, you effectively created a 'private' variable seen and preserved by each callback function.
Solution 2:
You need to pass the id
and planets
variables in the function like:
for (var i = 0; i < planets.length; i++){
var id = planets[i].id;
var input = document.createElement("input");
input.type = "button";
input.className = "worldButton";
input.value = "Choose this world";
Input.onclick = (function(pl, id){
game.pickWorld(pl, id);
})(planets, id);
}
