pass event as parameter to a dynamically assigned eventHandler

[r_o]

hi all,
i'm trying to dynamically assign an event handler for an onmouseover event on a <Li> element.
i need to pass the event as a parameter to the handler as follows
<script language="javas cript">
newLi=document. createElement(" li")
newLi.onmouseov er=bulkVal( ' some string ',event)
but i cant get it to work in FF1
in IE6 it works but the event fires before the mouse is over the element, it fires once and that's it no more..

i know that the event is passed implicitly to the handler so, if i change the word event to something like evt i get a message telling me that evt is not specified, if i ommit it it generates an error.
if anybody can help , fast plz

regards

Can i see more of the code please, and it will fire right off the bat because its not in a function and nothing is calling a function that i can see. although you didn't post all of the code.

hey Clint,
sure i'll 'reveal' as much code as you want haha..
the eventHandler function takes 3 parameters : a string, the eventSource and the event itself.

i tried to do it in IE6 as follows
newLi.attachEve nt('onmouseover ',bulkVal(desc. replace("&#39;" ,"\&#39;"),this ,event) )

and in FF1.5 :
newLi.addEventL istener('mouseo ver',bulkVal(de sc.replace("&#3 9;","\&#39;"),t his,event),fals e )

and still it does not work either ways!!

i think the problem is with the ->event<- keyword because if i assign the function,same function, directly to an object it works as follows:

< li onmouseover=" bulkVal(&#39; ' &#39;,&#39; \' &#39; , this, event)" >

it works and fires only once just after the Li element is added to its parent and then
nothing...

appreciate your help

Best Regards

P.S :

in the replace function i am using &#39 as '
so don't get mixed up and think the code is wrong no
