How to AttachEvent for dynamically added controls?

Hi:

I used the following code to dynamically add a control and I tried to
use attachevent to add a onClick event to the control. It doesn't seem
to do anything. Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks.

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<script language="javas cript">
function AddOneCtl() {
var ni = document.getEle mentById('myDiv ');
var newctl2 = document.create Element('button ');
newctl2.setAttr ibute('id','Tes t1');
newctl2.setAttr ibute('value',' Click Me');
ni.appendChild( newctl2)
document.getEle mentById('Test1 ').attachEvent( 'onClick',click evt1);
}

function clickevt1() {
alert("Clicked" );
}

</script>

</HEAD>

<BODY>
<FORM name="AddContro l">
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Click here to add a control"
onClick="AddOne Ctl()">
</FORM>

<div id="myDiv"> </div>

</BODY>
</HTML>

It should be 'onclick', not 'onClick'. However note that attachEvent is
part of the IE 5 DOM, some other browsers like Opera implement that too,
but Mozilla needs the W3C DOM specific addEventListene r.

Simply setting
elementNode.onc lick = clickevt1;
should suffice however.

Additionally the HTML button element is not a good choice on the web, it
has different default values for the type attribute (e.g. 'submit' for
Mozilla, 'button' for IE) and IE insists on submitting the content
(innerText) of the button element if it is a submit button.

Thanks, it worked fine now.

The page I am working on is internal and for IE only. (We can't even
run firefox here:( ) so it simplifies things a little.

An early Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours... We develop data driven apps. We dynamically place controls on a panel which may be then be placed on a web form or another control. My problem is that I can't get the events of the hosted controls to fire. e.g. ' myUserControl.ascx. is placed on myWebForm.aspx in the Designer ' myUserControl.ascx has a Panel on it, Panel1 ' From code in myUserControl.ascx I pass Panel1 ByRef to a class...

Hi there: I've checked the forums, but haven't found a situation addressing my specific problem. Here's the deal: I've got a Web Form containing two Panel controls.

When the user clicks a LinkButton from within the first Panel control, I

I have found that I must re-create dynamically added controls on every postback in order to find and access them programatically. The controls I am working with are inside a GridView control. When the edit button is clicked, a postback occurs and the control are re-created. This causes an additional set of columns to be created in the GridView control, so that all of the dynamically added controls exist in 2 places on the screen. How can I...

I posted this question earlier with an unclear predicate. Let me give it another shot: I have found that unless I re-create dynamically added controls on every postback, I am unable to access them programatically. When I do re-create them on postback, I can access them programmatically; however, the controls appear on my webpage in uplate. How can I recreate the controls on postback without having them appear in duplicate? Thanks,

I have a page with mixture of static and dynamically added controls is there any way of controlling the order which they are added to the page. My submit button (statically added) appears before some textboxes (dynamically added). I know I could move it around with CSS but I want to move towards an accessible site that will display forms in the right order without CSS. Regards, Chris.

I have a custom control that I wrote (I inherit from System.Web.UI.WebControls.CompositeControl). I dynamically add this control to my Page, but I was told that dynamically added controls do not survive postback. This seems to be true. However, this seems to make dynamically adding controls rather pointless to me, since if you cannot retrieve the values of the controls when you perform a postback, why add the controls in the firstplace?...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
