Event Handler Does Not Work With Dom

[gsherp]

I can get the Onclick event handler to work when I added a new row using insertRow. It doesn't work in IE or in FF

var cellarea = row.insertCell(2);
cellarea.style.backgroundColor = "#F4F4F4";
cellarea.align='center';
var area = document.createElement('input');
area.setAttribute('type', 'text');
area.setAttribute('name', 'area_' + iteration);
area.setAttribute('id', 'area_' + iteration);
area.onClick=new function(){"alert('hi')";} <-----DOES NOT WORK
area.Onclick="alert('hi')";<-----DOES NOT WORK
area.setAtrribute(onClick,"alert('hi')"); <-----DOES NOT WORK
cellarea.appendChild(area);


Please help....
