Not implemented error in IE
Hi,
I'm having this problem just for IE (I'm using IE8). The code works fine in all the other browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome). Here is a snippet
// I've a div with id='div_a'
window.onload = function() {
var elem = document.getElementById('d
elem.onclick = dosomething(elem);
}
function dosomething(obj) {
if( !obj ) return;
obj.onmousedown = function() {
// doing something over here
}
}
Please note that window.onload is actually pointing to a function object. It is the same as doing the following (which yielded the same 'Not implemented' error in IE):-
window.onload = init;
function init() {
var elem = document.getElementById('d
elem.onclick = dosomething(elem);
}

HOWEVER I would not try to sset the onmousedown event handler in an onclick event. That is asking for trouble
So why a "B" ?

My apologies. I thought I had clicked on 'A' and soon I realized my mistake. I don't think it is possible to re-assign a grade? or is it?
No problem. Unaccepted

I was originally trying to execute a mousedown event when the user triggered a onclick event. But I agree it's better not to mix different event triggers with one another. That's what I ended up doing anyway.
