Below is a tiny section of code to highlight a problem that I am currently having. The textbox has an onblur event (the workings of the onblur event are irrelevant), and an associated RequiredFieldValidator. This code functions exactly as it should. However, if in the body onload event I simply raise an alert of the innerHTML of tr1 or td1, the onblur event does not appear (but it does work, and can be seen when I view source in IE7). If I remove the RequiredFieldValidator, the onblur event handler is shown in the alert, or if I retain the validator but change onblur to onfocus, then the event handler also appears in the alert. I need this to work as when the user increases the Quantity, duplicates of the table row are added (I have tried both cloneNode, and setting the innerHTML of each new table cell to that of the original, but as my alert proves, the onblur event handler is not included in what is copied). The same problem also occurs with onchange for select tags with validators. I am using Visual Studio 2008 (.Net 2), IE7 and IIS 7.
<tr id="tr1" />
<td id="td1" />Quantity <input id="txtQuantity" onblur="fnBlur(this)" type="text" maxlength="2" value="1" runat="server" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="reqQuantity"
