    newbie: setting onClick property

    This is surely a simple RTFM problem, but I still can't do it
    Code:
    <HTML>
<BODY onLoad="loader()">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide code from older browsers
function loader() {
  toc = document.getElementById("tableOfContents")

  for (i = 0; i < toc.all.length; i++) {
     if (toc.all[i].tagName == "H1") {toc.all[i].onclick="head()"}
  }
}
function head() {
   alert('hello mum')
}
// End hiding-->
</SCRIPT>
<!--
</form>-->
<div id="tableOfContents">
<h1> here's a heading 1</h1>
<h2 onclick="head()">here's a heading2</h2>
</div>
</BODY>
</HTML>
    The 'heading 2' click works fine, but I want to be able to set them all (to keep the body of the markup as simple as possible) but my code has no effect. No doubt it's a simple error...

      Thank you.

      I had tried toc.all[i].onclick=head() but that of course invokes the function; at the risk of showing myself terminally stupid, how would one code the function to be invoked with an argument list?

        np, sometimes after a long tiresome day, we all make stupid things. I remember me staying stucked about 2 hours trying to see what's wrong with

          You mean like this?

          obj.onclick=function(){someFunc(arg1, arg2)};

            Exactly, thank you.

            Newbie indeed; I couldn't even RTFM to find it and I've more FMs than the British Library.

            This is a fine forum, thank you ladies and gentlemen, each time I've asked a question here I've had good answers
