[jQuery] IE and onClick - not!

[Bruce MacKay]

Hello all,

The following function forms the first part of a two step 
confirmation sequence for deleting either a quiz or a slideshow.

The onclick element is correctly produced for the second step of confirmation.

Unfortunately, whereas FF fires the onclick event, IE7 does nothing, zip.


function confirmDel(what,where,which,ht,pb){
    $("#"+where+"b").hide();
    $("#"+where).fadeIn(500).css("height",""+ht+"");
        switch(what) {
        case "sshow":
            var sWhat = 1;
            break;
        case "quiz":
            var sWhat = 2;
            break;
        }
    $("#"+where).find('a').eq(0).attr('onclick', 'deleteItem(' + 
which + ','+pb+',1,'+sWhat+');return false;');
};

My googling has revealed that IE has a problem with dynamically 
produced "onClicks", but that's about as far as my understanding 
goes.  Is this problem a total block and/or are there alternative 
approaches I should be taking to pass the variables to the ajax call 
that does the final deletion?

Thanks,

Bruce
