Onclick event on a sitemap link

(Geoffrey Bailey) #1

Is it possible to put an onclick event in a sitemap link's anchor tag? Using the format type option in the sitemap just adds formatting within the anchor tag, where i need to add an onclick event to the actual anchor tag.

works for me in 3.14.1. Is that what you're trying to do?

Yep, thats what I am doing which works, but I still end up with an anchor tag nested inside an anchor tag. I'm guessing there is no way to control the default format of a sitemap link…

Ah yes, I see. Just wrap a span around you text instead then; onClick should still be valid.

If the onClick must originate from the [i]a[/i] tag, you could add an event listener to the parent of the span tag (which listens for onClick) using JavaScript.

Nah the onclick doesnt work on the span, i tried it earlier. I'll run with the double anchor tags for now and might look at adding the event listener later on. Thanks for you help.

No worries :) It does work for me in Camino (Mac). Make sure onClick is capitalised correctly if you're using XHTML.
