Event handlers when using document.createElement()

[Craig Dumolien]

I need to create textarea objects on the fly. Below is the code I'm using to do that. However, I also need to use the events onkeydown and onkeyup to implement a textarea counter, of 250 characters. How/Can do I add the event handlers to my createElement code?

var textarea = document.createElement('TEXTAREA');
textarea.setAttribute('name', 'headerNote');
textarea.setAttribute('id', 'headerNote');


Thanks for the help.

textarea.onkeyup = function(event){ /* function body here */ };
