Dynamically assigned onclick event never executed when clicking link - Javascript / DHTML / Ajax

I just conquered an issue I was having with adynamically assigned onclick event never executed when clicking a link (click me for details). Essentially what I ended up coming up with and highly recommend to others is that if, for some insane crazy reason inexplicable even by cold Vulcan logic, your dynamically assigned event handler just WON'T go - do something like this:

    for (var i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
    {
        var a = _bsn.DOM.createElement("div", { bgColor:"white" });
        a.innerHTML = "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"selVal(document.getElementById('"+pointer.fld.id+"'),"+arr[i]+");\">"+arr[i]+"</a>";
        var li = _bsn.DOM.createElement(  "li", {}, a  );
        ul.appendChild(  li  );
    }

Then it will take for sure. Though that seems kinda common sense to me looking back on it, many hours of eye strain when into coming to that solution.
