form

myTextField.id = 'myTextField';
myTextField.name = 'myTextField';
myTextField.style.width = '200px';
myTextField.onkeyup = 'example';


hey im creating form feilds with javascript for some reason i can change the onkeyup value does anyone know what i am doing wrong ??

 

sorry for double posting here is my code:

var myTextField = document.createElement('input');
myTextField.type = 'text';
myTextField.id = 'myTextField';
myTextField.name = 'myTextField';
myTextField.style.width = '200px';

document.body.appendChild(myTextField);


i just cnt figure out for the life of my how to add the event onkeyup via javascript rather than creating it in html manually >

 

you need to reference the function by its name if it is defined... (Not as a string though)

so

myTextField.onkeyup = 'example'; 

Code (javascript):

should be (if you have a function named example)

myTextField.onkeyup = example; 

Code (javascript):

alternatively you can define on the fly a function for it like this

myTextField.onkeyup = function(){
 alert('keyup fired ;)');
 // any code you like here...
}; 

Code (javascript):

take care
