You can return the value as follows

C#

function fnTabChanges(index) {
           //Some condition and code here as per logic
return someValue;
       }

Now to retrieve the value

önclick="var result = fnTabChanges('0');alert(result);"

// variable result has the return value , alert(result); is added to testing purpose

Hope this helps...

Try the following and adapt it if it suits your need:

<html>
<body>
<input type='button' id="button1" value='first button' onclick="clickMe(this)"/>
<input type='button' id="button2" value='second button' onclick="clickMe(this)"/>
<input type='button' id="button3" value='third button' onclick="clickMe(this)"/>
<input type='button' id="button4" value='fourth button' onclick="clickMe(this)"/>
 
<script>
function clickMe(e){
 
    alert("You have clicked button id = "+e.id+" and button value = "+document.getElementById(e.id).value);
 
}
</script>
 
</body>
</html>
