From what follows it will be obvious that I am not a javascript expert
but Mochikit has made it possible to do some very cool things although
I continue to have the problem outlined below.
What is the correct mochikit way of adding "onclick -->
do_something(this)" to a DOM element. What I currently (try) to do is
something like:
var s = SPAN({'onclick':'do_something(this)'},'test')
The reason I ask about this is:
1) When I do the above, the 'onclick' attribute does not show up in
the generated source. Maybe this is normal although it makes
debugging a little tricky.
2) More importantly, the above does not always work. When I use
swapDOM to replace an existing element with the SPAN above the
'onclick' isn't recognized, however when I do appendChildNodes it does
work. In situations where swapDOM doesn't work, if I do:
updateNodeAttributes(s, {'onclick':'do_something(this);'});
it does work (but never appears in generated source), I just don't
understand why when swapping the node the 'onclick' doesn't work.
I have tried using SPAN({'onclick':do_something}) -- using the
function itself and not a string, but that doesn't work and not sure
how you pick up the concept of 'this'.
Perhaps the above is completely related to (my) operator error, but I
am very interested in what is going on and the proper way to deal with
this.
