using an event

[davikokar]

hallo is there a way to grab an event without having to modify the html code?

For example, in this code I use the onmouseover event but I need to modify the html by adding the "onmouseover...":

<a id="mylink" href="" onmouseover="alert('An onMouseOver event');return false">Test</a>

My question is if I can, in an external file, refer to mylink and use the onmouseover event, without having to modify the html. Somehitng like:

in my html

<a id="mylink" href="">Test</a>

in my script.js

if (mylink.onmouseover) then doThis()
else

Hi

In standard-compliant browsers :

window[teal].[/teal]onload[teal]=[/teal][b]function[/b][teal]()[/teal] [teal]{[/teal]
  document[teal].[/teal][COLOR=darkgoldenrod]getElementById[/color][teal]([/teal][green][i]'mylink'[/i][/green][teal]).[/teal][url=http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-EventTarget-addEventListener][COLOR=darkgoldenrod]addEventListener[/color][/url][teal]([/teal][green][i]'mouseover'[/i][/green][teal],[/teal]doThis[teal],[/teal][b]false[/b][teal])[/teal]
[teal]}[/teal]

For Explorer you will have to add [tt]attachEvent()[/tt] calls too.
