onchange event handling in IE

[siteware]

Im struggling with an event handling issue in IE 6.0.

Following snippet illustrates the situation:

<input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield" onchange="handleOnChange()"/>
<button id="button" onchange="handleButtonClick()">button</button>

When I change the text in the textfield and next I click on the button I would like to have both the 'handleOnChange' and 'handleButtonClick' to be executed, but only handleOnChange is executed and I have to click the button a second time to fire the 'handleButtonClick'.

In Firefox this works fine, but in IE the onchange event prevents the execution of the onclick event.

Does anyone know a workaround for this problem?

Thanks,

Edwin

Well, I'm not sure if this will resolve your problem, but I do know that you should probably have an "onClick" event for your button, instead of a "onChange".

call the buttonclick function from the change function and the change from the click

Sorry for the typo, but the second event handler should be onclick off course.
