Join 2 Same Almost Same Function Into 1

function showRole(str,x) { if (str=='') { document.getElementById('txtHintrole'+x+'').innerHTML=''; return;

Solution 1:

I'm guessing you want to call two functions on onchange. Try this:

newcell.childNodes[0].setAttribute("onchange",function(){
    showUser(this.value,"+xx+");
    secondFunction();
});

or since you tagged this jQuery, do it the jQuery way:

$(newcell.childNodes[0]).change(function(){
    showUser(this.value,"+xx+");
    secondFunction();
});
