onclick runs straight away....

windandwaves

Hi Gurus

I have the following JS:

var lin1 = document.getElementById('amui');
lin1.onclick = OWi(getimagename(mouseOvers[i1].src));

the onclick command executes straight away (before I click on the amui
element). What can I do about this? I dont understand it at all...

TIA

You aren't assigning a function to onclick, you are calling the function
and assigning the result!

Assuming OWi the the function you wish to call,

lin1.onclick = function() { OWi(getimagename(mouseOvers[i1].src)); };

Try putting the JS in <head></head> portion.

Great - thank you Ian. It starts to make sense.
