onclick works in FF but not in IE7

sisqorap · Feb 20, 2008

Hi all,

I have a problem with a dynamic made onclick and I'm trying to figure
it out with a little page but I can't get it to work in IE7. Can
somebody help me out?

This is the code:
<html>
<head>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
function Loading(){
document.getElementById('hallo').setAttribute("onClick","window.open('http://
www.google.be')");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad='javascript:Loading();'>
<div id='hallo'>HAAALLOOO</div>
</body>
</html>

This is the code:

Add a doctype.

<html>
<head>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">

Lose the language attribute.

function Loading(){
document.getElementById('hallo').setAttribute("onClick","window.open('http://www.google.be')");}

The get/setAttribute methods are broken as designed in IE. Set the
onclick property to an anonymous function instead.

</script>
</head>
<body onLoad='javascript:Loading();'>

Lose the "javascript:" prefix.

What do you mean with this one?

</script>
</head>
<body onLoad='javascript:Loading();'>

I've did all the rest except for the anonymous function and it didn't
work yet on IE

What do you mean with this one?

var el = document.getElementById('hallo');
if (el) {
el.onclick = function() {
window.open('http://www.google.be');
};
}
