Hi, thanks man,
With removing the weird setAttribute method, it works now under IE. I
dont know why the javascirpt ppl wrote these stuffs whereas they can
not work!
Thanks a lot!
I searched somehow in internet, and got these information, maybe that
will be helpful for someone who has the same problem as me:

True, but in practice I found that many problems can be avoided by
avoiding
set/getAttribute when possible. It's about the only more or less
general
rule I found for using the W3C DOM, so I repeat it whenever I have the
chance.

Well well, interesting. I didn't know that.

I hadn't thought of that.

On my W3C DOM mailing list (http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/list.html) we
often
discuss problems like this one. Event handler registration, especially,
turns out to be a rather problematical area with many small browser
problems.
If you're interested in getting the DOM to work in all browsers you
might
consider joining the list, as many JavaScript developers have done
before
you.
