Multiple attributes

[brian.lukoff]

What happens when there are multiple onclick attributes on a single
tag:

<input type="radio" onclick="alert('first')" onclick="alert('second')">

On Firefox and IE6, only the first is executed. Is this what will
happen consistently across browsers?

I think so, but can't you just put the calls in the same onclick event? ie,

<input type="radio" onclick="alert('first'); alert('second')">

?

Probably, probably not. It would be a guess. But, why do you want
multiples? It is far more reliable to combine them into one and you get
consistent behavior among browsers:

onclick="alert('first');alert('second')"

Yes, I completely agree. I have some code with tags that by mistake
have two onclick events--the first one intentionally there, the second
one there by mistake--and I'm wondering if the first onclick event has
failed to execute on some browsers when this code was run in the past.
Does anyone know the behavior of this on Safari?
