Creating Dynamic button with click event in JavaScript

Question

How can I create a dynamic button with a click event with JavaScript?

I tried this, but when I click the add button, an alert message show up! It\'s not what I want

Answer 1

Firstly, you need to change this line:

element.setAttribute("onclick", alert("blabla"));

To something like this:

element.setAttribute("onclick", function() { alert("blabla"); });

Secondly, you may have browser compatibility issues when attaching events that way. You might need to use .attachEvent / .addEvent, depending on which browser. I haven't tried manually setting event handlers for a while, but I remember firefox and IE treating them differently.
