Tom,

Give this a whirl:

If that doesn't work for you, here's something I do:

function myevent()
{
  alert('hi');
  // I could access the attribues of the tag this function
  // is attached to using the "this" reference.
  alert(this.getAttribute('id'));
}

var new_elements = document.createElement('TR');
new_element.onclick = myevent;

HTH,
