How to add onclick attribute on the fly?

Question

I have tried below one el.setAttribute("onclick","alert("+color['R'][i]+")"); but not working in IE older browser.

function r_loadResources(color) {
    var rows='';    
    var index =1;
    container = document.getElementById('color_table');
    for(i=0;i<color['R'].length;i++) {  
    if(I%8==0) {
        rows = document.createElement('tr');
        rows.setAttribute("id","row"+i);
        container.appendChild(rows);    
    }
    if(document.getElementById('row'+i))
    rowids = document.getElementById('row'+i);

    var el = document.createElement('td');
    el.bgcolor = color['hex_value'][i]);
    el.setAttribute("height",'20px');
    el.setAttribute("width",'10px');
    el.setAttribute("onclick","alert("+color['R'][i]+")");
    //el.setAttribute("onmouseover","Tip('"+color['color_name'][i]+"');");
    //el.setAttribute("onmouseout","UnTip();");
    rowids.appendChild(el); 
    }
}

Html code is <table><tbody id="color_table"></tbody></table>

The correct solution is var el = document.createElement('td'); el.onclick = el.onclick = new Function("clickHandler('"+color['R'][i]+"')"); It works in all browsers.
