Where are the variables p1 and p2 used in the function calls f1(p1) and 
f2(p2) defined?

You can assign the function value f2 to the onclick handler. When the 
onclick is executed by the browser, the value of the the parameter p2 
would be undefined.

It is not clear where you expect the value of p2 to come from in any of 
your examples.

Note that <span id="me2" onclick="f2(p2)">stuff 2</span> sets the 
onclick handler to an anonymous function
   function(event) { f2(p2); }
where your p2 is not declared either, at least as long as you don't set 
up a global variable of the name p2 elsewhere.

Or do you have <span id="me2" onclick="f2('p2')">stuff 2</span>?
