sendingObj = event.srcElement;
alert (sendingObj.myProperty);

img.myProperty = "blahblah";
img.attachEvent("onclick", myOnclick); //notice, no brackets... no parametes, no quotes

This is correct but you can always use an annonymous function like :

img.attachEvent("onclick", function () {alert('More then one way to skin a cat')});
