I am trying to change my GUI on onclick. It works fine in google chrome and firefox but doesnt work in webkit browser. Tried to debug but it doesnt go into the function only. Have tried using addEventListeners but it doesnt work as well. it doesnt trigger the onclick.

<select name="MetricType" id="MetricType" onclick="UpdateMetricFromGUI();">
<option value=CDatHT >CD</option>
<option value=HT >HT</option>
<option value=BowCD >BowCD</option>
<option value=NeckCD >NeckCD</option>
</select>

function UpdateMetricFromGUI() {
if (m_oSetup === null) {
msgBox("Please create a recipe first.");
}
else if (m_oSetup.Metrics !== null && m_oSetup.Metrics.length > 0) {

var l_oMetric = m_oSetup.Metrics[m_iCurrentMetricIndex];

l_oMetric.Category = document.getElementById("MetricType").value;
l_oMetric.PitchSampling = document.getElementById('ZoneSampling').selectedIndex + 1;
UpdateBoxesFromSetup(m_oSetup);
}
}

I'm not certain but think you might have to insert a
DoEvents
statement.

Is Chrome not a webkit browser?

Try:

object.onclick = function(){alert(this.value);};

Why not go back to the bare code when asking a Q?
The extra code you showed only complicates the issue.

Try:

<select onclick='alert(this.value);'>
<option value='1 selected' >One</option>
<option value='2 selected' >Two</option>
</select>

Please do not toppost,
as [that way?] you forget to answer my pertinent Q.

My code works fine in Chrome, which is Webkit.

My code also works fine in Chrome Mobile, which is Webkit.

So what browser do you mean that does not work?
What do you mean by "Doesnt work" exactly, btw?

Evertjan,

Is there any different way of executing a function when I change the items in dropdown instead of Onclick, onchange or AddEventListener

Use "onchange" instead of "onclick".

Since version 28 (more than a year ago) Chrome uses the Blink engine,
which is a fork of Webkit[1].

I tried with onchange it doesnt work as well,
Its strange as usually browser behaves the same as google chrome(both are webkit) but this time the code is working on chrome but not on my browser.

Google Chrome uses Blink, which is a fork of Webkit, as I already noted.
I don't know which layout engine is used by "your own browser".

Maybe your browser is broken or you have to enable JavaScript. It might
be useful to tell which browser you are using.

And because you might have missed it, because you are using the worst
interface to Usenet, namely Google Groups: please read and heed the
newsgroup's rules regarding posting:
