Raphaeljs and Internet Explorer, problem when clicking an element

Question

I have the following piece of code in javascript that basically hide or show a Raphaeljs set when I click on it. It works perfectly well under Google Chrome, FireFox and Saf

Answer 1

roughly similar to another question and I will post the same answer:

onmousedown worked for me in IE 7,8, and 9

            st[0].onclick = function () {
                myFunc(dataObj);
                st.toFront();
                R.safari();
            };
            st[0].onmousedown = function () {
                myFunc(dataObj);
                st.toFront();
                R.safari();
            };

I tried some other methods as well, abstracting the function to a variable but it didnt work. In my case I cannot add a rectangle to the display and have people click on this, it was a poor solution for several reasons.

Hope this helps!
