Help needed for writing some javascript code

[andre.lagerburg]

Does anyone know how to create a link (<a> . . . </a>) with some piece
of javascript code that has
the onClick event set for some function that I also wrote (not a
build-in function).

I can find all sorts of samples in these disc.groups but none of them
seems to work for me.

I am focussed on Firefox, but some code that also works for IE, would
be appreciated.

BTW I know how to create elements in the html document, that is not the
problem. The problem
is that I seem not te be able to set the onClick event for some created
element. I tried for both
a link and also for a text-element.
I can set the onClick for some built-in function like alert('Nice
Day').
There are loads of examples to
be found for that, and they indeed work.

Thanks in advance,

André Lagerburg

Maybe you could try something like that:

function link_clicked()
{
....
}

newlink.onclick = link_clicked;

I havent tested it though. Not sure if it works.

var a = document.createElement("a");
// add attributes
// then either:
a.onclick = myFunction;
// or
if (a.addEventHandler) {
a.addEventHandler("click", myFunction, false);
} else if (a.attachEvent) {
a.attachEvent("onclick", myFunction);
}
