Is it possible to reassign js function to an object without including parameter(s)?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I have some js functions with one parameter and would like to re-assign a function to another object.  For instance,
function f1(p1)
{
window.open('myscript.html?'+p1);
}

function f2(p2)
{
window.open('myscript2.html?'+p2);
}

The HTML file may read like this:
<span id="me1" onclick="f1(p1)">stuff 1</span>
<span id="me2" onclick="f2(p2)">stuff 2</span>

Now, say, I want to reassign f2 to the object id of me1 on-the-fly and p2 value is unknown to me yet, simple reassignment:
document.getElementById('me1').onclick = f2;  // won't work.
and yet, I can't re-assign like this:
document.getElementById('me1').onclick = f2(p2); // because p2 value is unknown yet.

How to accomplish the above if doable? Or another way to tackle it? Thanks.
