click on a link with onClick

[alihaydar]

hi,

i'm trying to open a lightbox within a table cell with onClick, here is the code that works in firefox.. but it's not working in chrome.. is there a way?
or a better way to do this altogether?

<td onClick="document.getElementById('zorba').click()">Knye</td>
 
<a style="display: none;" href="knye.htm" title="Knye" id="zorba" rel="lightbox">Knye</a>

what does Chrome's Error Console say?

[alihaydar]

it says:
Uncaught TypeError: Object file:///F:/1002/kunye.htm has no method 'click'

[Dormilich]

Object file:///F:/1002/kunye.htm

that's some strange kind of object ... can you put that page on a public server?

[alihaydar]

sure;

it's the second top link from left.. "Künye"

[Dormilich]

according to the HTML-DOM there is indeed no click() method on the <a> element (ref.). however, Mozilla states that according to the new HTML5 specification (though I couldn't find that part) there should be and therefore Mozilla supports it. (ref.)

thank you very much..

is there any other way to call that lightbox without using <a> ?

[Dormilich]

why don't you bind the lightbox directly to that (calling) element?

[alihaydar]

i don't know how to do that :)
