Removing an event

[Peppi]

Hi,

I have an onChange event for my dropdown box. What this event does is creates a clone of the existing dropdown box. Now this new dropdown box will have an onChange event. However, I now want to remove the event from the original dropdown so that it can no longer be called.

I've tried
sender.removeAttribute("onchange");

and

sender.detachEvent("onchange", addNewRow);

but neither one works.

Any help is appreciated.

sender.onchange = "";

OK, that works fine.

So now if I want to do the opposite, that is, dynamically add an event handler instead of remove one, here is what I do in my addNewRow function:

task.onchange = addNewRow(this);

However, this immediately calls addNewRow again. I don't want to run the event handler, just set it. How can I set it without calling it?

Thx.
