Javascript return two values in onchange function

I need to return two values in a text input. Here's what I'm trying:

<input type="text" size="2" name="disOrd[<? echo $usersArray[$x]['id']; ?>]" 
value="<? echo $usersArray[$x]['disOrd']; ?>" 
onchange="updateAgentOrder(this.name,this.value)" />

It only returns the first one, not the second one. Is this even possible to do? I absolutely need both.

Here's what updateAgentOrder does, just a temporary deal to get the values:

function updateAgentOrder(x,y){
alert(x,y);
}

If I change the order of this.name and this.value, it will only show the first one.

alert only takes one argument, the thing to alert.

alert(x);
alert(y);

This will show two alerts, one after the other, showing each of the two values.

No, you can't create functions with multiple return values in JS. (as in Python or Go) If you need to return multiple values from a function you need to wrap them in a literal object:

return {
    name: name,
    value: value
};
