Setting onclick in Javascript.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 19.2002

I’m creating rows on the fly. When someone presses the add button, a new row pops up. The problem is that I need that row to have functionality, too.

td = row.insertCell();
var qButton = td.appendChild(document.createElement(‘image’));
qButton.onclick = ‘”alert(1);”‘

Just for an example. This won’t fire off an alert when you click the newly created button. When I check out the innerHTML, it reads okay, but the onclick is still useless.

I’ve tried a number of things .. Taking out the quotation marks, leaving them in .. I’ve made this work before, but I was using innerHTML, which I can’t do right now, as I need it supported for Netscape. Any clues? I’d appreciate it.

@swonDec 19.2002 — Did you tried it with setAttribute();?

for example:


td = row.insertCell();

var qButton = td.appendChild(document.createElement('image'));

qButton.setAttribute("onClick","alert('1')");

Yes, tried that one. The only thing that has worked for me so far is setting innerHTML ..

td.innerHTML = '<IMG SRC="static/delete.gif" ONCLICK="alert(1);">'

Is there something like that supported by Netscape?

@Rick_BullDec 19.2002 — Try this:

qButton.onclick = new Function('alert(1);');
