Is there a way to write following code inline like so    lt a href     onClick  function          do something      return false    return false   gt  lt  a gt    Instead of doing this     lt a href     onClick  doSomething    return false   gt  lt  a gt    function doSomething          do something

Based on the answer that  Mukund Kumar gave here s a version that passes the event argument to the anonymous function   lt a href  quot   quot  onClick  quot  function e       console log e       alert  Hey i am calling        return false     arguments 0   return false  quot  gt click here lt  a gt

This should work    lt a href     onclick  function hi   alert  Hi     hi    gt click lt  a gt    You may inline any javascript inside the onclick as if you were assigning the method through javascript  I think is just a matter of making code cleaner keeping your js inside a script block

This isn t really recommended  but you can do it all inline like so    lt a href     onClick  function test       Do something       test    return false   gt  lt  a gt    But I can t think of any situations off hand where this would be better than writing the function somewhere else and invoking it onClick
