Check event target when using document.attachEvent

I have the following code...

document.attachEvent("onclick", get_func(obj, "on_body_click", "event_target_here"));

I am attaching a global function get_func() to the event onclick. get_func() returns reference to a function defined in a function object something like this..

function get_func(obj, funcname, params) {
   if(funcname == "check") {
      return obj.checkTarget(params);
   }
}

Now in the function checkTarget(), I need to check which DOM object was clicked upon. How can I do this? I understand that I need to send the target of onclick event to the global function somehow.

Can somebody throw some light on this?

Regards

If you want to pass the object that was clicked on into the global function, you can modify your event attachment to use the click event's source element to something like this:

document.attachEvent("onclick", function(e) { get_func((e || event).srcElement, "on_body_click", "event_target_here") });

Then you could pass that object down to the checkTarget function.
