Adding onclick stuff to an INPUT through javascript

This should work in FF and IE.


//adds the event handler when the page loads
onload = function() {
document.getElementById('turkey').setAttribute('onclick','testit()');
}

//clicking the link below will test if the attribute was set
function showevent() {
alert(document.getElementById('turkey').getAttribute('onclick'));
}

//clicking the button below will test if the event handler is working
function testit() {
alert('it works');
}

// if the input doesn't have an id, you can use the name instead
// document.forms[0].turkey.setAttribute('onclick','dofunction()');


<form>
<input type="button" id="turkey" name="turkey" value="TEST">
</form>
