javascript onclick alert not working

[chrisrjcox]

Hi,

I'm following the help file and have got to the Attributes page in the Editing a webpage section.

I have created a new <div> within the <div id="content" > and have followed the instructions to create the onclick action with, alert("hello!") , as the value, shown in the help file. However when opening the file in Preview, firefox or safari it does nothing, is there something missing from the instructions?

Thanks Chris

There is a typo with the syntax I think.
You want
alert('Hello!')
Single quotes within brackets.

If you use the Actions Palette and select simple and alert it will enter the correct format for you. Well worth a look MT has added a load of new features here to allow a lot of effects and they all work via the simple interface.

MT - please amend the typo and am I right in thinking that the simple js actions do not need a .js file. Is it built into browser? Please a little background.

Excellent Blond, I wish we could allocate points to helpful people in this forum...

replaced javascript as you said and "all is good"

MT - Would be great if you can update the help document with this. (but I know its up to me to learn javascript )
