onclick code in location

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 16.2010

Hello!
I’m working on dynamic tree, based on xtree2. I wanted to add onclick to tree nodes and it was working fine, but suddenly it stop to work. The problem is that when I click on the node, the code from onclick appears in location bar of browser and instead of expected page, I see ‘true’ (result of script) in browser window.

The static code

[CODE]<a href=”#” onclick=”javascript:loadform(‘customers/edit/cust1’);”>cust1</a>[/CODE]

works fine, but dynamically generated code:

[CODE]
<a href=”#” class=”webfx-tree-item-label” tabindex=”-1″ onclick=”javascript:loadform(‘customers/edit/cust1’);”>cust1</a>
[CODE]

does not work. What I’m doing wrong ?

@jarek333authorNov 17.2010 — After number of experiments, I've found, that the problem was really related to return value of onclick function.

If the function in onclick, returns value, it works properly in static html. In dynamic function returning value is not working - confirmed in Firefox and Opera.

In dynamic html function in onclick must NOT have return statement to work.

It is not clear form me why it works like this

Success!
