Yes, when you try to assign a string to what is a function reference, it
tends not to work too well. Use:
<body onload="test();">
<form name="myFormName" id="myFormId">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function test() {
var a = document.createElement('input');
// assign the reference to function1 to the onkeyup event
a.onkeyup = function1;
document.forms['myFormName'].appendChild(a);
// or document.getElementById('myFormId').appendChild(a) ;
}
function function1() {
alert('keyup');
}
</script>
</body>
Just as a side note:
oElmt.onkeyup = function() { javascript
:function1(); };
should work, but "javascript
:" in that example is simply a label that
serves no purpose, and you lose the ability to refer to have "this" in
function1() refer to the element.
