jQuery's .click - pass parameters to user function

I am trying to call a function with parameters using jQuery's .click, but I can't get it to work.

This is how I want it to work:

$('.leadtoscore').click(add_event('shot'));

which calls

function add_event(event) {
    blah blah blah }

It works if I don't use parameters, like this:

$('.leadtoscore').click(add_event);
function add_event() {
    blah blah blah }

But I need to be able to pass a parameter through to my add_event function.

How can I do this specific thing?

I know I can use .click(function() { blah }, but I call the add_event function from multiple places and want to do it this way.

I get the simple solution:

 <button id="btn1" onclick="sendData(20)">ClickMe</button>

<script>
   var id; // global variable
   function sendData(valueId){
     id = valueId;
   }
   $("#btn1").click(function(){
        alert(id);
     });
</script>

My mean is that pass the value onclick event to the javascript function sendData(), initialize to the variable and take it by the jquery event handler method.

This is possible since at first sendData(valueid) gets called and initialize the value. Then after jquery event get's executed and use that value.

This is the straight forward solution and For Detail solution go Here.

Since nobody pointed it out (surprisingly). Your problem is, that $('.leadtoscore').click(add_event); is not the same as $('.leadtoscore').click(add_event('shot'));. The first one passes a function, the second a function invocation so the result of that function is passed to .click() instead. That's not what you want. Here's what you want in vanilla JavaScript terms:

$('.leadtoscore').click(add_event.bind(this, 'shot'));

Function.prototype.bind() passes the function to .click() just like in the first example but with bound this and arguments that will be accessible on invocation.
