Adding "onblur" event to specific textbox. 1

[Geee]

Hi, I want to add an onblur event to a specific textbox. The textbox is created by a php class which is why I can't add the event into the html. I have the following:

document.getElementById('ink_colours_edit').onchange = showinks();

Where ink_colours_edit is the id of the textbox and showinks() is the javascript function I wish to be run. This doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas greatfully received!

including the parentheses just calls the function. you are close. here's what you want:

document.getElementById('ink_colours_edit').onchange = showinks;

Grr the forum seems to be breaking when I try to post. Anyway, thanks to both, onblur was a typo in the title, I wanted to add an onchange event, and I'm calling it from window.onload. The question I wanted to now is, whats the difference between calling a function using the () or not using the ()?

Thanks

you never CALL a function without using (). in other words, you ALWAYS call a function USING the paren's. watch:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

function doLongPurpleThing() {
    alert("thanks!");
}

// call the function
doLongPurpleThing();

// attach the function to an event so when the event actually
// happens, THEN it gets called
onload = doLongPurpleThing;

//-->
</script>

I got a nintendo when I was in 5th grade. When I went in for my advisor meeting to set up my High School classes I had always wanted to be a baseball player (not very realistic - I wasn't THAT good) My dad came with me and the advisor asked what I wanted to do. I didn't have an answer and so my dad said "you like to play video games, why don't you get into computers". And that was it.

I didn't really look or act like the typical IT guy in college either: I'm the one with the guitar

ex-friend, he got pretty weird my last semester of college. Rarely came out of his room, stopped talking to everybody. It's a shame too, I got along with him really well before that.

Oh, and he dated the girl taking the picture, so he probably did want to kill her.....
