passing parameters

[patmazuel]

I'm trying to pass a parameter but am having problems.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
If on the line
permissions.onclick = createDialog(eval(i));
I only do
permissions.onclick = createDialog;,
then take out mylist parameter, all works fine.

If I leave it as is, the createDialog function gets executed right after the initDialog, instead of waiting.

I even tried just using 1 instead of eval(i) but no go either.

TIA

// JavaScript Document
addLoadListener(initDialog);

function initDialog()
{
  for ( i = 1 ; i <= 25 ; i ++ )
  {
    var permissions = document.getElementById("permissions" + i);
    permissions.onclick = createDialog(eval(i));
  }
  return true;
}

function createDialog(mylist)
{
  var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
  var pageDimensions = getPageDimensions();
  var viewportSize = getViewportSize();
  var printlist = "name etc "  ;

Try

permissions.onclick = new Function("createDialog(" + i + ")");
