Input element - no onClick in XHTML

XHTML validation error on Forms

[Victoria_B]

*Sorry* folks but I'm a little new to XHTML and so ran one of my pages through the W3C's XHTML validator and it marked the following code -

<input name="enable" type="button" value="Enable" onClick="javascript: accessEnable()" />

as "Line 128, column 111: there is no attribute 'onClick' "

Err?... So how do I make the above HTML code XHTML compliant when the "onClick" attribute is considered depricated?

Victoria - Stumped... :(

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Victoria_B.

XHTML requires all lower case letters for attributes. So the long-standing convention of capitalizing the event type in an event handler now bites the dust in XHTML. Try "onclick" and the line should validate.

Simple problem = simple answer.

(Even though I'd already successfully transfered about 30 pages over to XHTML - I guess after a long day I just couldn't see the woods for the trees)

Thanks Tedster - you're a star!

Incidentally, the javascript: is generally superfluous. You can usually just say

<input name="enable" type="button" value="Enable" onClick="accessEnable()" />
