Alright, well I am trying to assign a function to a JavaScript Event for a retrieved element.

I will explain with code first :

window.onload = function() {

    var divBox = document.getElementById(someid)
    var divBox.onclick = someOtherFunction(arg,arg)

}

function someOtherFunction(arga,argb){
    var anotherDiv = document.getElementById(someid)
        anotherDiv.style.color='blue'
}

If I attempt to do something similar to the above code, it executes 'someOtherFunction' rather than just setting the onclick event to the function with the proper arguments that I need to send it.

Any suggestions ? Thanks a lot guys

In JS, functions are just another type of value. You assign the function itself as the event handler. You cannot pass arguments to it directly because that's an invocation.

A common technique is create a closure. That is, a function that calls the real function with the args you want.

window.onload = function() {

    var divBox = document.getElementById(someid)
    var divBox.onclick = function() { someOtherFunction(arg,arg); };

}
