i am having a very frustrating problem. I have this code which filters out my results and inputs them into a select box
var syn = <?=json_encode($syn)?>;
function filterByCity() {
var e = document.getElementById("city_filter");
var city = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
var selectOptions = document.getElementById('syn_list');
selectOptions.options.length = 0;
for (i = 0; i < syn.length; i++) {
if (city == syn[i]['city'] || city == 'all') {
selectOptions.options[selectOptions.options.length] = new Option(syn[i]['name'], syn[i]['id'] + '" onclick="updateTxtContent(\'' + syn[i]['id'] + '\')');
}
}
}
as you might see i am adding a onclick listener to every select "option" which look great in the source code of the page itself but if i copy it into an edit i notice this my problem is that the "updateTxtContent()" function is not called.
<select size="10" name="syn_list" id="syn_list" class="span12" dir="rtl" style="text-align:right;">
<option value="13" onclick="updateTxtContent('13')">option a</option>
<option value="14" onclick="updateTxtContent('14')">option b</option>
obviously there should be a better way to do this that i am not aware of.
