Attaching event

[PoppapumpJ]

Can anyone tell me why this does not work. It looks the same as other examples, however the function does not execute when the event happens

The addRow function is called from a row in a table. It is creating another row for that table

[tt]
<script>
function ShowMenu(){
alert('got here');
}

function addRow(){
//alert(&quot;got here&quot
var numRows = document.all.testTable.rows.length
var newRow = document.all.testTable.insertRow(numRows - 1)
var newButton = document.createElement (&quot;button&quot
var newInput = document.createElement(&quot;input&quot

newInput.setAttribute(&quot;name&quot;, &quot;text1&quot
newInput.setAttribute(&quot;id&quot;, (&quot;text&quot; + numRows))

newButton.setAttribute(&quot;value&quot;, &quot;Select Reason Code&quot
newButton.attachEvent(&quot;onClick&quot;, ShowMenu)

newRow.insertCell(0)
newRow.insertCell(1)

newRow.cells(0).appendChild(newInput);
newRow.cells(1).appendChild(newButton);

}
</script>

[/tt]

Thanks for the help

Can you believe this?

the problem was from the Cap letter in the event name.

so instead of onClick, I should use onclick.

I thought the Javascript standard was lowercase first word and uppercase first letter of every other word.

Just one of those things I guess.
