onClick event within a DIV tag

[rrhandle]

I would like to trigger the Javascript onClick event when the user clicks anywhere within a <DIV> tag below. Is that possible?

response.write("<DIV STYLE='position:absolute; top:250px; left:40px; width:400px; height:300px; background-color:blue; color:red; background: url(mmc.gif);'></DIV>"

Thanks

I was trying to call the alert function right from the DIV tag, but could not get it to work, so I created a function name "divClick", and called it from the DIV tag. That works.

Add this piece of Javascript.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function divClick()
{
	alert('div onClick');
}

function linkClick()
{
  var div = document.getElementById("wrapper");
  div.onclick = null;
	alert('anchor onClick');
}
// -->
</script>

Then add onClick='divClick();' to the DIV tag.

response.write("<DIV onClick='divClick();' STYLE='position:absolute; top:250px; left:40px; width:400px; height:300px; background-color:blue; color:red; background: url(mmc.gif);'></DIV>")

Why not?
response.write("<DIV onClick='javascript:function_name()' STYLE ...")

LFI: Yes, it is working.

Juris: Isn't that basically what I did?

rrhandle,

I hadn't seen your second post when I posted my response above.

I'm guessing you had trouble with the alert written INSIDE the DIV tag because of nested quotes (the text in your alert was probably wrapped in single-quotes, as is the argument of the onclick event... a javascript no-no).

So, you have it working and you have your answer, yes?
