Jquery - Passing parameters to a function

I want to pass an ID to a function that turns it to a "flyout".

My base code is:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a id="target_anchor1" href="#" title="XXXXXXXXXX">test 1</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function() {
    $('#target_anchor1').flyout({
      title: '',
      content: function() {
        return document.getElementById('target_anchor1').title;
      },
      html: true,
      dismissible: true
    });
  });
</script>

I want to do this dynamically, so I tried a function. Function gets the parameter but does not create the flyout.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a id="target_anchor1" href="#" title="XXXXXXXXXX" onclick="anchorFlyout(this.id)">test 1</a>
<a id="target_anchor2" href="#" title="YYYYYYYYYY" onclick="anchorFlyout(this.id)">test 2</a>
<a id="target_anchor3" href="#" title="ZZZZZZZZZZ" onclick="anchorFlyout(this.id)">test 3</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
  function anchorFlyout(paramId) {
    alert(paramId);
    $('#' + paramId).flyout({
      title: '',
      content: function() {
        return document.getElementById(paramId).title;
      },
      html: true,
      dismissible: true
    });
  }
</script>

Code is taken from http://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/Simple-Customizable-Tooltip-Popover-Plugin-Flyout

Any idea?

Just make a regular function and have jquery statements in it:

function anchorFlyout(paramId) {
    $("#" + paramId).flyout({
        title: '',      
        content: function() {
            return document.getElementById(paramId).title;
        },
        html: true,
        dismissible: true
    });
};
anchorFlyout("target_anchor1")

Do you just want to be able to pass an ID to a function that turns it to a "flyout"?

function createFlyout(elementID) {
    $("#"+elementID).flyout({
        title: '',      
        content: function() {
            return document.getElementById(elementID).title;
        },
        html: true,
        dismissible: true
    });
}

Or you could use a custom JQuery function...

$.fn.createFlyout = function() {

    this.flyout({
        title: '',      
        content: function() {
            return this.attr("title");
        },
        html: true,
        dismissible: true
    });

    return this;
}

$("#myDiv").createFlyout();
