It's totally up to you -- you're the one defining the function that's
getting called, you define the names of its parameters. You can call
it flapjack if you like. :) In his first reply to you, Elden called it
"event" -- here's the code he posted, with ===>markers<=== in both of
the relevant places:
function blah(===>event<===){
//this function would do way more than this
===>event<===.stop();
alert ("blah");
}
Since he called it "event" in the function signature, that's the name
he used in the code; but this would also work:
function blah(flapjack){
//this function would do way more than this
flapjack.stop();
alert ("blah");
}
Hope this helps,
