Internet Explorer "setAttribute" onclick workaround?

Question

var tr = document.createElement('tr');
tr.setAttribute("onclick",p.onrowclick+"("+row.id+")");

Hi, the above works fine for me in Firefox. I can't find the correct syntax for a workaround in IE.

I'm using IE8.

The above code is what I used with a jQuery extension called Flexigrid so that I could add an onclick event to the tr. I just threw that code in without regard to jQuery or an 'easier approach'. I thought that if it wasn't working with the above code I'd have the same problem with any other way of assigning an onclick to a tr in IE. — StuR, Oct 20 '10 at 08:56

Don't set events like this. Pass it a proper function:

tr.onclick = function() { p.onrowclick(...); }

Works on IE only, but not the suggested way:

var tr = document.createElement('<tr onclick="p.onrowclick('+row.id+')">');
