I'm trying to write a greasemonkey script that adds, among other things, a button to the page. I'm fairly certain the rest of my code works, but I simply cannot figure out how to add the onclick event for the new button. I'm writing this solely for FF3, so I'm not too concerned about stuff not working in IE or whatever.
code:var button = document.createElement("button");
button.type = "button";
button.value = "Submit data!";
button.name = "submitButton";
//what googling suggests is right...but doesn't work
//button.onclick = new Function("alert('lol')");
//button.onclick = new Function (evt) {alert('hi');};
//ditto
//button.onclick = new Function("doStuff()");
//button.onclick = new Function (event) {doStuff();};
// This works! (I think)
//button.setAttribute("onclick", "alert('hi')");
// but this doesn't :(
//button.setAttribute("onclick", "doStuff()");
// And some other possibilities via google
//button.setAttribute("onclick", "doStuff()");
//button.addEventListener('onClick', 'doStuff()', false);
So, in general, if I'm dynamically creating a button and adding it to the page, how do I actually set the onclick event for it?
edit: I figured it out thanks to stuff on the previous page. I had the wrong type of event named (onclick or onClick instead of click).
code:button.addEventListener('click', function (){doStuff();}, false);
