JavaScript Q. Works in FF&Safari, not IE7 or IE8

Question

I have the following line of code:

<li>
    <label for="q2-1" onclick="setActive(this.id, 'question2-1-input');" id="q2-1-label"><input disabled="disabled" type="checkbox" name="question2" id="question2-1-input" value="1" />Opinions</label>
</li>

which calls:

function setActive(questionID, questionIDinput) 
{
    alert('setActive');
}

The above code works great in FF & Safari but not in IE. Is something above not IE friendly?

Thanks

Answer 1

I believe that you should put the onclick even on the input instead of the label.

Answer 2

You should have the onclick event on the checkbox, not the label, the onclick event will be fired because you have the for="q2-1" on the label

Answer 3

Do not use "setActive". It is already taken (name of an existing function). Replace it with something else (setActive1() will do ;) ) and it will start working in IE as well.
