setting onclick property

[drkestrel]

I am trying to dynamically change the onClick evenHandler using:

var sNoteOnClickJs = 'showDetails()';  //showDetails is a JavaScript function defined in the same HTML page.

objImg.onclick =sNoteOnClickJs;  //objImg  is a <img> tag in a <td>

I did an alert for objImg.parentElement.parentElement.outerHTML it looks
exactly the same as a static working version., but the onClick event is not firing off! Why?

am i no allowed to set onClick??

btw, doing the following has the same effect

objImg.setAttribute('onclick',sNoteOnClickJs);

Btw, this is happening on IE6 SP1

Hi,

May not have enough info here to fix but try removing quotes and ()

var sNoteOnClickJs = 'showDetails()';
This means sNoteOnClickJs is a string, try :
var sNoteOnClickJs = showDetails;

If this doesn't work cam you post more.
