Hi,

I'm looking to add a click handler to a div. But is there a way to use a single click handler function and share it between multiple divs? Since I may have 100 divs, I don't want to create a click handler for each (they'll all practically do the same thing). The jquery example shows:

$("p").click(function () { 
    $(this).foo(); 
});

can we do something like:

$("p").click(myClickHandler);

function myClickHandler(source) {
    source.foo();
}

?

Thanks
