[javascript] Passing parameters in Javascript onClick event

It is probably better to create a dedicated function to create the link so you can avoid creating two anonymous functions. Thus:

<div id="div"></div>

<script>
  function getLink(id)
  {
    var link = document.createElement('a');
    link.setAttribute('href', '#');
    link.innerHTML = id;
    link.onclick = function()
    {
      onClickLink(id);
    };
    link.style.display = 'block';
    return link;
  }
  var div = document.getElementById('div');
  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i += 1)
  {
    div.appendChild(getLink(i.toString()));
  }
</script>

Although in both cases you end up with two functions, I just think it is better to wrap it in a function that is semantically easier to comprehend.
