jQuery attr('onclick')
Do it the jQuery way (and fix the errors):
$('#stop').click(function() { $('#next').click(stopMoving); // ^-- missing #}); // <-- missing );If the element already has a click handler attached via the onclick attribute, you have to remove it:
$('#next').attr('onclick', '');Update: As @Drackir pointed out, you might also have to call $('#next').unbind('click'); in order to remove other click handlers attached via jQuery.
But this is guessing here. As always: More information => better answers.
As @Richard pointed out above, the onClick needs to have a capital 'C'.
$('#stop').click(function() { $('next').attr('onClick','stopMoving()');}
The easyest way is to change .attr() function to a javascript function .setAttribute()
$('#stop').click(function() { $('next')[0].setAttribute('onclick','stopMoving()');}
