Deprecated onEvents

[coder_seth]

Why have, for a few examples..

- onChange for <select>s
- onClick for <inputs>s

..been deprecated?

And what are the alternatives? For instance, when I do a CMS for a site, and the admin is in a section where they are editing a record for instance. On that form, I like to have a typical SUBMIT button, but also a second button which I usually call CANCEL that I would do the following on:

onClick="document.location='javascript:history.back()';"

But apparently that's not considered valid XHTML.

AFAIK they aren't deprecated. In XHTML, though, all attributes, including the event handlers you mention, are lowercase.

They are present in XHTML 1.0 Strict...

oh duh! lowercase! gah.. how silly of me.

thanks!
