This doesn't make any sense. If you're already using jQuery why keep
your handler in the HTML? I'll try to help anyway.
<a ... onclick="showTextNearThisLink(e, 'foobarbaz');">...</a>
function showTextNearThisLink(e, sheez){
e = jQuery.event.fix(window.event || e);
// e is your new jQueryized event
};
