[javascript] How to pass parameter to function using in addEventListener?

When you use addEventListener, this will be bound automatically. So if you want a reference to the element on which the event handler is installed, just use this from within your function:

productLineSelect.addEventListener('change',getSelection,false);

function getSelection(){
    var value = sel.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
    alert(value);
}

If you want to pass in some other argument from the context where you call addEventListener, you can use a closure, like this:

productLineSelect.addEventListener('change', function(){ 
    // pass in `this` (the element), and someOtherVar
    getSelection(this, someOtherVar); 
},false);

function getSelection(sel, someOtherVar){
    var value = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
    alert(value);
    alert(someOtherVar);
}
