Hi there,
I am trying to write a loop that will add 10 divs to the screen. Each
div will have an onclick event. The function that will be called
onclick requires a parameter. That parameter is dynamic based on the
index of the loop. In Firefox this is no problem. However in IE I get
some results that I wouldn't expect.
Here is my code:
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var linename = jsonObj.lines[i].line;
var childcountid = jsonObj.lines[i].childcount;
var lineid = jsonObj.lines[i].lineid;
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.setAttribute("id","main" + i);
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
//************ this is the problem area
*****************
newspan.attachEvent("onclick", function() {getCategories('main' +
i)});
}
else
{
newspan.setAttribute("onclick", "getCategories('main" + i + "')");
}
document.getElementById('container').appendChild(n ewdiv);
}
What happens is when the element is clicked the parameter being passed
to getCategories is always 'main9' IE always grabs the current value
of i, not the value of i at the stage of the loop that attachEvent was
called.
I'm going out of my mind trying to figure this out. Please, any help
will be greatly appreciated.
