onchange() cancelling onclick()!

Hello!

I want to control the user's while he navigates but I encountered the follwoing problem: the onchange() function seems to cancel the onclick()!

In the following (simplified), using IE 6, when ones click on the button after having changed the text, the onchange() function is called, but not the onclick()!!!!

<HTML>
<HEAD>
    <SCRIPT>
      function fCh() { alert ("Changed"); }
      function fPE() { alert ("Click"); }
    </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
   <FORM>
    <INPUT class="text" type="text" value="BONJOUR" onchange="fCh();">
    <INPUT type="button" onclick="fPE();">
   </FORM>
  </BODY>
</HTML>

Thank for your help.

Eric

I think it's just that you alert box grabs the focus before you have clicked on the button.

You were right Joe : the example was too simplified and the alerts did modify the behaviour (Heisenberg incertitude principle ;).

The problem was that the code processing the onchange was hidding the button... In this case, the click event seems to disappear. I solved the problem by delaying the call to the function hidding the button by a setTimeout().

Thank you.
