POjquery setting 'onmouseover' attr doesn't seem to work?
text
Body
copied!<p>I seem to be unable to change the onmouseover attribute of a div using jquery. In the code below, lines 1 and 3 work fine but line 2 does nothing.</p> <pre><code>window.parent.$('#note' + appid + dbid).html('<img src="images/note_gray.png">'); window.parent.$('#note' + appid + dbid).attr('onmouseover','testestestsetset'); window.parent.$('#note' + appid + dbid).attr('title', 'testdata'); </code></pre> <p>Using Chrome (13.0.772.0 dev-m) watching the developer tools. I see the two changes immediately as I should, the onmouseover never does anything.</p> <p>The .net code uses onmouseover to do some weird javascript hover thing. I don't want to go back and change all that functionality, so when I update a record I want it to change the hover tip to reflect the new data, without doing a page postback. This is why I am using onmouseover and trying to change it from jquery so please don't ask "Why don't you use x instead". Thanks.</p> <p>---EDIT----</p> <p>If it helps, this is what it looks like in HTML from the generated page that I am building edit functionality for. The original code uses a javascript function called "Tip" to generate a hovertip. This was written by someone else. I am doing edit modals for the page. When you submit a change, I want it to change the tooltip.</p> <pre><code><div id="note1009872" class="dbnote" onmouseover="Tip('No Notes...')" onmouseout="UnTip()" title="testempty"><img src="images/note.png"></div> </code></pre>
