set onchange event

[Smintheu]

Hello,

Probably a stupid question, but how do I set the onchange event of an element I have created in javascript?

var nextInput = document.createElement('input');
nextInput.setAttribute('name', 'picture[]');
nextInput.setAttribute('type', 'file');

I would like the nextInput element to have an onchange attribute.

I tried
nextInput.setAttribute('onChange', 'myFunction');
but this does not work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Smintheu

I tried
nextInput.setAttribute('onChange', 'myFunction');
but this does not work.

onchange is not an attribute -- it is an event. One way to do it is as follows:

nextInput.onchange = myFunction;

Note the lack of () on the function. This is on purpose.

That did the trick, thanks a lot!

how then do you pass arguments with this function?

nextInput.onchange = function(){myFunction(this);};
