The content slider you created is just brilliant! There is a question I have about the setClickedItem() fx. You’re adding “e” as a parameter, yet when you call the function in the click event listener, no arguments are being passed in parenthesis.
I’m missing something here…Since link.itemID = i; Does that value of i get satisfied as an argument because the activeLink within setClickedItem() is referencing the value of itemID…which is being dynamically set in the event listeners for loop?
Hi, bstagy!
When specifying an event handler via the addEventHandler function, you don’t have to specify an argument. The setClickedItem event handler gets the e argument populated automatically 
The value of i is less an argument and more of a value that happens to be set on the itemID property. Even if nothing gets clicked, the for loop (like you mention) sets the itemID property to whatever number i is at that time. Think of itemID as a permanent addition to our link elements as accessed by: var links = document.querySelectorAll(".itemLinks");
Does that help answer your question?

Hi Kirupa!
It does for the most part. There are so many little intricacies to JS.
I’m still a bit confused on where the argument gets it’s value from because in your code you have clickedLink = e.target; I’m assuming the e get’s it’s value on the element it’s clicked on, but what if it’s say a ‘scroll’ event or something else? I suppose there are only certain instances when you can pass an argument to a function being called in Eventlisteners.
Best,

Very close! The e is actually the event argument, and every event will pass that event argument object on.
For something mouse related, a MouseEvent object is returned. For a scroll, a ScrollEvent object is returned. Depending on the type of event you are dealing with, the properties that event’s object returns will be different. For example, a MouseEvent object has ways for you to figure out which mouse button was clicked. The target property tells you which element the mouse event was sent from. A ScrollEvent object would tell you things related to the scrolling.
Kirupa,
Thank you for taking the time to explain. It’s still not exactly clear which is why I think it’s one of those things I just have to play with to better understand. Kind of like ‘this’ .

No worries! In case this helps, check out the KeyboardEvent and how you can access its properties here: https://www.kirupa.com/html5/keyboard_events_in_javascript.htm That may help provide more details for my earlier answer 
Awesome thank you Kirupa! I’ll check it out.
