calling javascript in a dynamically generated html element using JS

setting JS in a dynamically generated element

[kevinjohn]

Hi,
I was able to generate the html elements dynamically in javascript using "createElement' and 'appendChild' and i could see the dynamicaly generated elements in the web page( let us say a text box).

Now my query is:

How to call a javascript function from the dynamically generated html element.

for example:
1) i have generated a text box using a javascript function.
2) Now i have to call another function when that text box is clicked.How to add a JS function here?

Can any one please let me know?

Thanks

Here is an example I came accross on a site called quirksmode.
[quirksmode.org ]

if (document.getElementById && document.createElement)
{
var butt = document.createElement('BUTTON');
var buttext = document.createTextNode('Ready!');
butt.appendChild(buttext);
butt.onclick = saveEdit;
}

Hope that helps you.
