Getting DHTML to let me use a javascript function for the URL

Question posted by: sdonohue (Newbie) on September 29th, 2006 02:46 AM

I am not very good at DHTML, but I have a set of links that use DHTML and they work :)

But now the customer wants to have one of my DHTML links call a javascript function when it is clicked on. When I put it into DHTML, it treats everything between the " " like a constant. When I remove the quotes, it gives me an error.

One of the versions I have tried is:

DQM_rollover_image12 = "/images/nav_hospital.gif"
DQM_rollover_wh12 = "208,20"
DQM_rollover_xy12 = "0,240"
DQM_url12 = "/index.html onClick=UTC_Hospital()"

the javascript function I am trying to call is in index.html and it is called UTC_Hospital ()

Thanks for any and all help...I am at wits end and naturally they need this function to work asap.

Re: Getting DHTML to let me use a javascript function for the URL

Set the URL to index.html:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

DQM_url12 = "/index.html";

See if you can set onclick somewhere. If so, set onclick to UTC_Hospital(). If not, you'll need to modify the generated link:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

	// access the link

var link = document.getElementById("linkID");

// set onclick

link.onclick=UTC_Hospital;
