Simple onClick problem

[WSPL5]

I have done this function before and I cannot figure out why it is not working. I am receiving the results of an xmlhttp call and I am looping through the values I am creating links with an OnClick. I created a simple function with just an alert, but the link is not kicking off the function. I have several examples of the same process working on different pages. I must be missing something simple.

This is the code from the relavent section:
The issue is with the onClick of the Anchor Tag.

var D = new ActiveXObject(" Microsoft.XMLDO M");
D.async=false;
D.loadXML(xml);
supplierquery.i nnerHTML='';
var s='';
s=s+'</b><Table class="pnumbloc k" Style="Backgrou nd-Color:#f5f5f5;b order:1px solid black" cellpadding=0px cellspacing=0px width=100%>';

for(var i=0;i<D.childNo des[0].childNodes.len gth;i++) {
var e = D.childNodes[0].childNodes[i];
var getVnd = e.getAttribute( 'xSUPP');

s = s + '<tr valign=top><td Style="border-bottom:1px solid black">
<A HREF="#" onClick="setVnd ('+getVnd+')" class="pnum"> '+e.getAttribut e('xSUPP')+' </A></td></tr>';
}
s = s + '</table>';
supplierquery.i nnerHTML = s;

}
}

function setVnd(v) {
alert("got here");
}

I'm not a javascript guy but I believe, with xhtml or xml, OnClick needs to be lower case because there it's case sensitive.

Thanks, but the correct case of the onClick event is "onClick"
The error I am receiving is --- Error: Expected ')'

This

s = s + '<tr valign=top><td Style="border-bottom:1px solid black">
<A HREF="#" onClick="setVnd('+getVnd+')" class="pnum"> '+e.getAttribute('xSUPP')+' </A></td></tr>';
 

Needs To Be

s = s + "<tr valign=top><td Style=\"border-bottom:1px solid black\"><A HREF=\"#\" onClick=\"setVnd('"+getVnd+"');\" class=\"pnum\"> "+e.getAttribute('xSUPP')+" </A></td></tr>";

Thanks a million, that fixed the problem. I guess I was concentrating on the onClick and did not take into account the rest of the string. The wierd thing is that I have a very similar string in another function that works fine:

Code that works:
s = s + '<tr valign=top><td width=20 Style="Backgrou nd-color:#fff;bord er:1px solid gray"><A HREF="#" onClick="delMRB ('+getMRBID+')" ><img src="/icons/actn011.gif" border=0></A></td><td width=250 Style="Backgrou nd-color:#fff;bord er:1px solid gray"><A HREF="#" onClick="setMRB ('+e.getAttribu te('xPNUM3')+' )"> '+e.getAttribut e('xPNUM')+' </A></td><td width=250 Style="Backgrou nd-color:#fff;bord er:1px solid gray"> '+e.getAttribut e('xPNUM1')+'</td><td Style="Backgrou nd-color:#fff;bord er:1px solid gray"> '+e.getAttribut e('xPNUM2')+'</td></tr>';

Do you know why this works and the one you fixed didn't? I probably spend more time debugging string issues than anything else in javascript.

Thanks for the help.

Because this one

s = s + '<tr valign=top><td width=20 Style="Background-color:#fff;border:1px solid gray"><A HREF="#" onClick="delMRB('+getMRBID+')"><img src="/icons/actn011.gif" border=0></A></td><td width=250 Style="Background-color:#fff;border:1px solid gray"><A HREF="#" onClick="setMRB('+e.getAttribute('xPNUM3')+' )"> '+e.getAttribute('xPNUM')+' </A></td><td width=250 Style="Background-color:#fff;border:1px solid gray"> '+e.getAttribute('xPNUM1')+'</td><td Style="Background-color:#fff;border:1px solid gray"> '+e.getAttribute('xPNUM2')+'</td></tr>';
 

Doesn't have syntax errors
This ones syntax error is here
s = s + '<tr valign=top><td Style="border-bottom:1px solid black">
<A HREF="#" onClick="setVnd ("'+getVnd+'")" class="pnum"> '+e.getAttribut e('xSUPP')+' </A></td></tr>';

the bold underlined text is all that really needed to be changed but i didn't like the string at all that way so i made it cleaner after i found your error.

I should have known better but, no, the correct case is 'onclick'. I forgot onclick is an HTML attribute and not javascript. While HTML doesn't care about case, Xhtml and XML do. Therefore, you should always use lowercase.

Why are you using InnerHTML? Why not just create a template node and then clone it?

Would save you a lot of headaches, especially in the keeping-track-of-quotes department :)
