Alternate to setAttribute() for Internet Explorer.

While working for my project , I found a strange problem with the setAttribute() method.

//Trying to set the onclick event for the element.
document.getElementById("cvId").setAttribute('onclick','return false;');

This works fine in Firefox , But fails in IE. To make it work in IE I did the respective changes.

document.getElementById("cvId").onclick=function(){return false;};
//Or you can directly call a javascript function.
document.getElementById("cvId").onclick=function(){DoSomething();};

//Declaraion of function..
function DoSomething()
{
return false;
}

This change works fine in IE and Firefox.Hope this is helpful.
