There are a few ways to handle events with HTML/DOM. There’s no real right or wrong way but different ways are useful in different situations.
1: There’s defining it in the HTML:
<input id="clickMe" type="button" value="clickme" onclick="doFunction();" />
2: There’s adding it to the DOM property for the event in Javascript:
`//- Using a function pointer:
document.getElementById(“clickMe”).onclick = doFunction;
//- Using an anonymous function:
document.getElementById(“clickMe”).onclick = function () { alert(‘hello!’); };`
3: And there’s attaching a function to the event handler using Javascript:
var el = document.getElementById("clickMe");
if (el.addEventListener)
el.addEventListener("click", doFunction, false);
else if (el.attachEvent)
el.attachEvent('onclick', doFunction);
