IE8 Not Calling Two JavaScript Functions via Onclick Event -

essentially want call 2 functions on onclick event. works fine in firefox , chrome not ie8!

the first function should call modal appear (modal indicates form in process of being saved - not appearing) while second function saves form , hide modal.

html

<a onclick="openmodal();saveform();">click me</a>  <!-- modal --> <div id="mymodal" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="mymodallabel" aria-hidden="true">     <div id="modal">         <img id="loader" src="static/images/ajax-loader.gif" />     </div> </div> 

javascript

   function openmodal(){        $('#mymodal').modal('show');    }     function saveform(){     //--- logic    } 

thank in advance!

i don’t listen event adding "onclick" attribute html element. instead, more practical use .addeventlistener. can recommend jquery. in jquery, write:

$('a').click(function(){   func1();   func2(); }
