Has anyone seen the following happen: I add javascript in an action in the event tab and a call to the javascript function in a custom code element on the front side of the form. When I add the function call to the form element (in this case it is a onchange="myFunction();" call) and save the form, a "-" is added between on and change so that it is now on-change. This faults my script. Likewise, on the JS action I add to the back side of the form, it adds a "-" between the on and load that I am using to initialize my javascript elements. Why is it doing this? I have the site editor set to none and I have pure code checked in the custom code box on the front side of the form. I am running chronoforms version 4.01 and Joomla! v3.1. Any ideas? Thank you!

Sorry to waste anyone's time. The issue was with RS Firewall. It is a great component, but it is difficult to work with if you use javascript. I uninstalled it for now. The javascript is back working. I will test it on the development site and see how to configure it to work with Chronoforms. I will post the results here when I figure out what needs to be done to work around it.
Hi Erik,
Thanks for the update, I would not have thought of that as a possible answer. I guess that it automatically edits valid event names to prevent possible hacking. The answer may be to avoid function names like onXxx()

RSFirewall update: I added an exception for the chronoforms component in the firewall exception list. This is not ideal, but I added more server side validation to the forms as well to try to protect against bad code injections. I will post any more updates I have on this component as I live with it every day.
Hi Erik,
It might also help if you don't add the event calls to the inputs but use the MooTools addEvent() method.

window.addEvnet('domready', function() {
$('input_id').addEvent('click', function(){
// some script
});
// or
$('input_id').addEvent('blur', some_function);
});Bob
