[Dojo-interest] javascript : copy or reference

[Keisuke Nitta]

use closure, for example

for(var i=1; i<=8; i++) {
         var span2 = document.createElement("span");
         dojo.byId('pagelist').appendChild(span2);
         var handler = function(count) {
            return function(){getClientList(count);}
         }
         dojo.event.connect(span2, 'onclick', handler(i) );
  }

or you can use dojo.lang.forEach
