Hi all,

As many of you know I'm a JavaScript neophyte! So I was hopign someone could help me out with a quick question - where you have a method call associated with an onClick attribute of an image, is it possible to add multiple method calls?

The call currently looks like this:

Code:

onclick="echoc2c.open(); return false;"

Any help much apprecaited.

Cheers,

DM

Sure, you can have multiple method calls. Just use ; to separate them.

Also be aware of the order they will be executed and also be aware that I've had unexpected results doing things this way, for what it's worth.

OnClick (as with all event pops) is just a place to put javascript. You can place whole scripts there if you want, which is what VS is referring to.

This is completely valid: onClick="alert('this'); alert('that'); alert('another');"

... however it's really bad form. Pro mode would be onClick="myFunction()" which has everything you want to do in it.

I'm not sure I'm quite ready for pro mode  , would creating a function be as simple as:

Code:

function myFunction() {

// Call analytics software to register a fake page view - indicating link has been clicked

// Open horrible pop up thingy
echoc2c.open();

}

// Execution
onclick="myFunction(); return false;"

Thanks for the tips guys.

Pretty durn close DM. I'd modify just a titch:

Code:

function myFunction()
{
// Call analytics software to register a fake page view - indicating link has been clicked
// ( I assume you'll put that code here...

// Open horrible pop up thingy
echoc2c.open();

return false;
}

// Execution
onclick="myFunction()"

Cheers Perk, that's just what I needed.

I'm starting to hate having to ammend other peoples crappy code, wouldnt have any of the problems I'm having now if so called 'web developers' had implemented things properly.

Anyway, I digress in to a rant.

Thanks again,

DM

Rant away, mouse-man. I've never been accused of holding my tongue...

[vsloathe]

I've been accused of holding your tongue though.

[vsloathe]

...or maybe it was "tongueing your hole".

I can't remember.

The roofies will do that.
