Hi Guys,

I'm having a HUGE problem with Javascript under IE, the code below belongs
to a page
http://filterqueen.brinkster.net/test.aspx

it works fine under Firefox, but not in IE...

does anyone knows how to add OnChange Script to work under IE as well?

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
rbl.Attributes.Add("onchange", "javascript: alert('me :)');")
End Sub
</script>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:RadioButtonList runat="server" ID="rbl" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
<asp:ListItem Value="1" Text="1" ></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2" Text="2" ></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3" Text="3" ></asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
</form>
</body>
</html>
 
nop...

You are wrong.

1st we need to supply the language, like if you wanna print the page you
scecified

<a href="javascript: window.print();" >

and not only window.print(); ...

thans a W3C thing!


and secondly, even if I delete it still doesn't work :-(
 
and one more...

it's ONLY FOR RadioButtonList...

all my DropDownList are working perfectly with that syntax, in IE and
Fireworks!
 
For one thing, your script is incorrect. You can remove the "javascript:"

Not quite (as I see it):
A "href" usually has a URL in it, so it needs to be told that it
shouldn't redirect the browser to some URL, but execute a script
instead.
An "onclick" (onchange, onmouseover, onkeyup and other "on*"
attributes) doesn't redirect by itself, it is *designed* to execute a
script. That's why you don't need to tell it that it is javascript.

so :
<a href="javascript:alert('href')" onclick="alert('onclick')">X</a>

got it...


but still, my problem remains...

but I follow the link that Ray sent and I found that the RadioList is
compiled as an SPAN tag, so that's why the JS didn't work, because onChange
is not valid under a span tag

from this:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
rbl.Attributes.Add("onChange", "alert('me :)');")
End Sub

I changed to this:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To rbl.Items.Count - 1
rbl.Items(i).Attributes.Add("onChange", "alert('me :)');")
Next
End Sub

and now it works fine :-)
 
In IE onchange applies to INPUT TYPE=text, SELECT, and TEXTAREA.

Perhaps you need to use onpropertychange instead?
