Re: closure and multiple frames

Okay, I've changed onMouseClick to onclick (that somehow got changed 
when I rewrote the code).  I put in this new code, but when I put 
alert(srcEl) in clickFix, it returns the error message "index is null 
or not an object."  I think part of the problem is that I can't 
directly pass the variable to clickFix--that is, if I put brackets in 
the onclick declaration, the function is executed and the result is 
registered to onclick.  I have to access the variable from the 
clickFix function, which is outside the for loop.  The new code looks 
like this (but it doesn't work).


for (j=0;j<resp.length;j++) {
...
var newDiv=currentDoc.createElement('div');
var newAnchor=currentDoc.createElement('a'); 
//note: currentDoc=iframe.document
newAnchor.innerHTML=resp[j].firstChild.nodeValue;
newAnchor.index=j;
newAnchor.onclick= top.clickFix;
... //append the anchor to the div, append div to body, etc.
}


function clickFix(e) {
    var srcEl =window.event?window.event.srcElement:e?e.target:null;
    alert(srcEl.index);
    while(srcEl && !srcEl.index) srcEl = srcEl.parentNode;
    if(!srcEl) return;
    printResponsibilities(srcEl.index);
}

Thanks,
