Re: [WSG] Unaccessible - NY Attorney General busts two big name sites

The more salient question would be whether corporates can be forced to do so in australia, as SOCOG was a government corporation. AFAIK whether australian corporates can be forced to comply to W3C/accessibility guidelines is untested in the courts. -- Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au Web Dev

Re: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?

Thanks to everyone for their help -- a few great solutions in no time at all. I finally stumbled on this via google, and it looks the goods so far: anchor.onclick = function() { ... } Since others have also recommended it, I'm pretty confident in it's use. And you're all right, we should be a

Re: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?

Also, if you assign the event using the way below (detailed by Mark) the keyword "this" would refer to the link so you could do this: anchor.onclick = function(){ window.open(this.href,'popupwindow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=1,resizable=1'); return false; } rather than using event.srcEleme

RE: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?

Re: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?

Hi Justin, You can also use the simpler event model and add the event as follows: anchor.onclick = function(){ alert('anchor with rel clicked'); } This works in both IE and Mozilla. For more info on events in javascript the best resource I've found is http://www.quirksmode.org Cheers, Mark

You can use attachEvent method for this. But it's supported by Internet Explorer 6 only. -- test var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var i=0; i
