This solution works but it would be great if someone can explain what is actually happening here , d.onclick=test.bind(d,"arg"); function test(arg,e){ console.log(arg,this,e); } As i understand it is binding the object and the extra arguments to function, so we are able to access the object properties like event and the arguments as well!

"event" object is accessible by any function that called by event listeners. we don't need passing it as an argument. but it always is the default value of first parameter . means that if we don't pass any argument to function, first argument is equal to event object. Note: event keyword is deprecated. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/event#browser_compatibility https://code.sololearn.com/WI3HjAo66TL1/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/WPLm4l1Ts7XR/?ref=app
