I have this below span div and I copy this to another place in the DOM. But the onclick function I need to remove and place another onclick function.
<span class="plus childNode1" onclick="expand_collapseChildnodes('childNode1')" id="abc"></span>
Here I have to remove the onclick="expand_collapseChildnodes('childNode1')" for the copied element and replace it with onclick="checkNodes('childNode1')".
Consider a sample HTML page:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id ="d1">
<span class="plus childNode1" onclick="expand_collapseChildnodes('childNode1')" id="abc"></span>
</div>
<div id ="d2">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Now to move the element with id abc from DOM element with id d1 to another with id d2
//get the element
var element = document.getElementById("abc");
//detach from source
document.getElementById("d1").removeChild(element);
//remove onclick attribute
element.removeAttribute("onclick");
//add the modified attribute
element.setAttribute("onclick", "sampleFunc()");
//attach the element to another source
document.getElementById("d2").appenChild(element);
var div=document.getElementsByTagName("div");
var span=document.getElementById("abc");
var newSpan=span.cloneNode(true);
newSpan.setAttribute("id","newID"); //change id
newSpan.setAttribute("onclick","myFunc()"); //change onclick event handler
div[0].appendChild(newSpan);
document.getElementById("abc").onclick = function (){checkNodes('childNode1');}
