JavaScript page for this attribute: htmlFor. You can find other example(s) there.

<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" for="myButton" event="onclick">
        alert ("You have clicked on the button.");
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <button id="myButton">Sample button</button>
</body>
Did you find this example helpful? yes no

Example HTML code 2:

This example is equivalent to the previous one, but it uses inline event handling to listen for the event:
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function OnButtonClick () {
            alert ("You have clicked on the button.");
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <button onclick="OnButtonClick ();">Sample button</button>
</body>
Did you find this example helpful? yes no
