[RESOLVED] JS events in IE7

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 09.2009

Hi,

I’m developing my 1st web app & wonder if anyone could help with the following.

I have a <div> that is displayed when the user clicks on a <h1>, using the onclick event of <h1>. Within the <div> there is a <select>, when the user selects a specific <option> another <div> is displayed, using the onclick event of the <option>.

This works fine in Firefox, but the 2nd event isn’t fired in IE7 ie clicking on the option in the drop down doesn’t display the 2nd <div>. The problem seems to be related to the fact that the drop down is in a <div> that is being dynamically displayed, as the code works fine when in a <div> that is statically displayed.

Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
Tom

@FangFeb 09.2009 — Events can not be attached to the option element in IE; use the onchange in select.

IE also requires a value attribute in option to pass values correctly.
