Another way to change action of event handler

Is there another way to change the action of an event handler (such as onClick) for an element via script besides assigning that element’s onclick “property” to a method?

i.e.

[code]
function test1() {
alert(“test 1”);
}

function test2() {
alert(“test 2”);
}

function change() {
document.getElementById(“myLink”).onclick = test2;
}

<p><a href=”#” id=”myLink” onclick=”test1();”>test</a></p>
<p><a href=”#” onClick=”change();”>change</a> </p>
[/code]

Is there a way to assign the new action by supplying the text that would be in the event handler? As an example, if I had the following code:

[code]
<input type=”button” name=”viewBtn” id=”viewBtn” value=”View” onClick=”openWin(‘file.jsp?fieldName=origField&propName=origProp’,’editwin’,’width=500,height=500,scrollbars’);”>
[/code]

but wanted to change the code in the onClick handler to be:

onClick=”openWin(‘file.jsp?fieldName=[B]newField[/B]&propName=[B]newProp[/B]‘,’editwin’,’width=500,height=500,scrollbars’);

Can I do this by somehow assigning a string to the onclick property?

i.e.

[code]
document.getElementById(“viewBtn”).onclick = someString;

// someString = “openWin(‘file.jsp?fieldName=newField&propName=newProp’,’editwin’,’width=500,height=500,scrollbars’)”;
[/code]
