How to pass the event object to a named function

Question

I have an event handler for the click event. The event handler is a named function instead of an anonymous function. How can I pass the event object to this named function?

// usual example
$(".sel").click(function(ev) {
  // do stuff which involves the event
});

// my case
$(".sel").click(myHandler);

function myHandler() {
  // hopefully do stuff which involves the event
}

Answer 1

Event is passed to the event handling function as an argument by default

function myHandler(evt) {
    // You can use event object here
}
