I understand that the list is dedicated to CSS but as Standard Group I presume someone can answer my DOM question.
I search evrywhere on the web, I read books, I make many test using the w3c specification and the fireFox information but It seems that it is impossible to be done. As I know that people on this list are usually very uptodate with standard and w3c specification maybe someone has the answer I am trying to create an Event to add it to a html tag. I thought that the answer was createEvent("MouseEvents") but it was not the case. createEvent doesn't work the same way as a createElement. It simulate an event but don't write the event. What I am looking for is a function wich has the ability to write the event as such: el=CreateEvent ("mousedown") el.eventFunction="abc(z,y,x)" HTMLelement("mydiv").append(el) and the result must be as such <div id="mydiv" onmousedown="abc(x,y,z)"> </div> addEventListener doesn't help me because we can not add the function (this) and if we made a save of the complete page we see that the event was not written. In the case of createElement the object would have been written in the page. The other problem with addEventListener, it executes once we call it. I know that for the Java DOM there is object.setEvent("onclick", "abc(this") ) would someone have an Idea Thanks in advance happy hollidays Berry ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
