Form Actions

When a button is clicked; an event occurs.


but this event can change.
i dont want the event to be assigned to the button
and i dont want a function to choose what even to happen

i would like javascript to manage the events.

document.userdefform.elements["item"].onClick = "selectit(this)";

this doesnt work..
but it's the theroy i'm describing.


any ideas?

anyone?

try:
document.userdefform.elements["item"].onclick = function(){selectit(this)};

or try:

document.userdefform.elements["item"].onClick = selectit(this);

watch the case, it should be onclick and using your solution will call the function immediately when that line is executed. What you want to do is assign the handler not execute it immediately.
