coding multiple events on an event handler..

[uksub]

has anyone seen this code before... i'm just curious. i've never seen the coln used like this to attach mutiple events to an object.

Example:

<INPUT type="radio" id=System2 name=HQ$radio1 value=Q
datasrc=#DcDirectory datafld=sch_sys_cd
onclick="EnableDateFields: somehingImportantChanged: EnableWinterQuarterDates" >Quarter

see how the onclick event has events seperated by a ":"... i can't find any documentation on this syntax, but it works.

has anyone seen any or know of anything documenting this process of "multiple events" seperated by a colon? I'm just curious.

Thanx

I've never seen anything like it either. Where did you find that example?

It's here at my new job. I was looking through some code. It works... I've just never seen this done before, and i could'nt find any supporting documentation on it.

Are there 3 corresponding JavaScript functions called EnableDateFields, somehingImportantChanged, and EnableWinterQuarterDates?

If so, what parameters do they take/expect? If not, then do you get an error when the radio button is clicked?

I guess you can't post the code if it's internal?

Hi BillyRay,
The functions (i.e the events work). No parms are passed to the functions. I just never knew you could have mulitiple events attached to an object (seperated by a colon). And I was just wondering if anyone has seen this done before and/or if there was any supporting documentation on this syntax.

I can't find anything that talks about this syntax.

After trying similar code here, it simply errors in IE 6. What browser are you running in?

Maybe it's some sort of server-side directive, etc? What extension do the pages have? Are you running the code locally, or via a webserver?

I feel I need to know the answer now, too ;o)
