el.setAttribute(‘onclick’,’showPopup()’);

sorry, left off the last single quote. You can dynamically add the onclick using .setAttribute. Passing parameters works too.

el.setAttribute(‘onclick’,’showPopup(‘ + someparam + ‘)’);

el.setAttribute(‘onclick’,’showPopup());

If I have to pass a variable other than ‘this’ how do I go about it…

Following is the snippet

var li = document.createElement(“li”);

li.innerHTML = ”+response.items[i].name;

var URI=response.items[i].URI;

li.onclick= new Function(“callStatus(URI)”);
list.appendChild(li);

I get an error saying “URI is undefined”

Thanks a lot!! This actually saved me a lot of time, after trying to figure out what was wrong with my onclick attribute.

Thank you ayhtut. I spent AGES on this by trying to set the OnClick attribute – to no avail!
Your example works a treat :)
