But thank you! :-) Not sure the book is going to happen. to be honest, I've had a few options/alternatives, but so far I've turned them - mostly because it takes <em>a lot</em> of time, effort and energy to write a book. Stefan,

Nowadays I find this to be just basic stuff (off course ;) ). But man would I have loved to read this then. And for those who wonder: yes I've been guilty too. Until the day I heard the word 'closure', I used strings as parameters for timers. No worries, I'm cured now. Robert, without any kidding, you're really a fine teacher. Exact, to the point and still concerning alternatives. On top of that you pour it all into very readable texts that are quite enjoyable to read. Ever thought of writing some JavaScript book? You would have at least one reader if the latter chapters would be a little more hardcore :) There was a time I hunted the net for tutorials like this one.

You can send in any number of parameters you want to - this was just to simplify the object reference itself. But, just remember that the value of those parameters will be their value when the closure was created, i.e. when you caled <code>setElmBGColor</code>. Chris,

Thanks!

Why isn't it possible to pass multiple arguments like <em>this</em>? Thank you very much for this article. :-)
