Delegate in javascript

[shoham78]

hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to use delegate in javascript and if so how to do it.
(I want to send to a function a pointer to other function and raise that pointer).

What do you mean by delegate? I assume you are talking about a functionality of another programming language. Could you please explain more?

[shoham78]

In C# for example I can declare a delegate and pass to it a function from a different class and in the class where I declared the delegate I can raise an event and activate that function. I would like to know if it is possible to do it in javascript.

To a person who knows C#, that is clear but to a person who knows scripting, that is not. Can you give a code example maybe?

Is a delegate a variable? What do you mean "raise" an event?

First I want to apologize if I insulted you. In my code a draw a table and inside one of it’s row I draw an input. Because I draw this table for different purpose I need to connect the onfocusout event to different functions (each time to one function) and I need to be able to activate that function when the input loses focus.

[PeejAvery]

No. There was no insult. Okay, I think I understand what you are saying.

In the <input> tag, you can add an event called onblur. This will occur when the object loses focus. Just add the function there.

<input type="text" name="blah" onblur="function(variable if any)">

my problem is that i need to add the function dynamically. I need to do:
getElementById('string').onblur = function(parameters).
when the function is different each time.

[PeejAvery]

So do it that way.

document.getElementById('OBJECT ID').onblur = function(){
 // do what you want here...
}
