ok, so i have this function called doThis()
i'm trying to attach it to an onclick event from within an instantiation of a prototype class and keep getting a "not defined" error or an "uncaught exception" error when i try to alert() instead.
something like:
var iThing = document.createElement('div');
iThing.id = "iThing";
iThing.onclick = function(){doThis();};
also tried:
var iThing = document.createElement('div');
iThing.id = "iThing";
iThing.onclick = "doThis();"
var onClickHandler = new Function(iThing.onclick);
if (iThing.addEventListener) {
iThing.addEventListener('click', onClickHandler, false );
} else if (iThing.attachEvent) {
iThing.attachEvent('onclick', onClickHandler);
} else {
iThing.onclick = function(){doThis();};
}
anyone have any idea what i should add or do? Everything i can think of to search for on the Goog hasn't helped at all 7/31/2007 8:59:21 AM

for the uncaught exception, attempt to catch it using a try/catch
http://www.quackit.com/javascript/tutorial/javascript_try_catch.cfm
and install firebug
http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1843
it'll help you get the JS right 7/31/2007 10:26:06 AM |

i guess what i'm asking is how do I reference a function declared outside of a class
function doThis() {alert('hi');}
var AnObject = function (someVar)
{
this.Thing = someVar;
}
AnObject.prototype.annoy = function ()
{
doThis();
}
whatev = new AnObject(thingie);
whatev.annoy();

I was bored and I threw your code into a file and it worked in firefox 2.0. I did have to change the assignment of whatev.
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function doThis() {alert('hi');}
var AnObject = function (someVar)
{
this.Thing = someVar;
}
AnObject.prototype.annoy = function ()
{
doThis();
}
whatev = new AnObject("test");
whatev.annoy();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="whatev.annoy();">test</a>
</body>
</html> 7/31/2007 10:12:19 PM |
