Getting event from map click

Show all headers | View raw

I have some js like this

var myFunction = function(e, elem) {
  e = e || window.event;
  // do other stuff
};

and some HTML like this

<img id='tmp' src="lake.jpg" style="width:256px; height:192px;" 
usemap="#pnt">
<map name="pnt">
   <area shape="rect" coords="111,36,151,85" href="#" 
onclick="myFunction(e, 'tmp'); return false;">
</map>

I need the 'area' to pass the event to the function and some other 
parameters. When I try the above I get e is undefined. How do I get it 
to pass the event as well?
