Hello,
On my web site, I have a <selectdrop-down menu that allows to show/
hide divs: http://tchernobyl.dreamhosters.com - The problem is that it
doesn't work in IE7 (only tested in Opera and Firefox). However, if I
include the onclick event in an <atag, it works fine in IE (but not
within <optiontags). Next to the drop-down menu, I put a "test" link
which works fine in IE7. Do you know what may be the cause? Here's the
snippet:
// Works:
<select>
<option onclick="showdi v('bataille')"> La Bataille de Tchernobyl</
option>
<option onclick="showdi v('soleil')">So leil</option>
<option onclick="showdi v('catastrophe' )">La Catastrophe de
Tchernobyl</option>
<option onclick="showdi v('vingt_ans')" >Tchernobyl, Vingt Ans
Après</option>
</select>
// Doesn't work:
<a href="#" onclick="showdi v('soleil')">te st</a>
Thanks in advance,
Charles. 20  3176 
Thanks guys. I fixed the problem using the <selectelemen t as
suggested.

Put the onclick= call in the <selectstatemen t. That works. Its an
IE6/7 feature IIRC.

Seems to me that the change event would be more appropriate and
accessible than the click event.

MM. Until, as I discovered, you end up with only one option, that can't
ever be changed..;-)

In that case, you've coded it wrong.
A selection list should never have only one option, and it's
trivial to ensure that this never happens.

I am not gong to reiterate the reasons why it was intended to be that
way, was not coded wrong, and works perfectly.
The readiness with which people claim righteousness in here and
elsewhere sometimes makes me want to vomit.
There is not sch thing as coded wrong. There is stiff that works as
intended, and stuff that doesn't work as intended. If it works as
intended, how can it be coded wrong?

It was coded wrong as you intended it to "work" incorrectly. Refer
back to the original thread.

Easily. If the way in which it is coded is a perversion of the
way the browser elements were intended to be used, that's a
pretty good sign that it's coded wrong. The fact that it works
the way you intended it to work doesn't make it right. At best
it moves the mistake from your coding to your design.
Making people click on select controls as if they were buttons
is bad user interface design. Period. I don't say that out of
self-righteousness, but based on years of user interface design,
including dealing with user feedback, user support, and updates
to the code.
Particular in browser environments, trying to make controls behave
other than as they were designed to is almost always a mistake.
It's too likely that the next browser release or some browser that
a client insists on using won't support whatever hacks you have to
use to get the behavior you want.
Even if you think you know your user base, you have to consider
that user bases change. The company that uses strictly IE may
hire somebody who requires a special browser to accommodate some
disability or the CIO may play a round of golf with somebody who
argues convincingly for Opera.

One of the hard lessons is that just because it works, it does not mean it
is right.
The harder lesson is that "not right" can have a fearsome bite.

Hi all,
I am using Firefox and embedding Javascript in html. I understand that
we can use mouse events by coding them in the body of html (by creating
a button or anything and by adding in the events in the <img> tag).
<input id="StdDev Value" name="StdDevButton" type="button"
value="Standard Deviation Value" onclick="readStdDevValue()"/>
