how to call module function on button click event in html page

Question

ChrisSmith7 · Answer

Just in case he's looking for a dojo-specific example!

registry.byId("myButtonId").connect("onClick", function myFunc(){          
     doSomething;
});

I find myself mixing dojo, jQuery, and pure JS sometimes...

As an alternative to using the onclick event in the HTML node you can hook up the event using Javascript: // Use a function pointer: document.getElementById("myButtonId").onclick = doSomething;

Here's how I do it (for a link, but same concept for button): Main map module (which calls another module - mapPrint) window.mapPrintExec = function () { var objMapPrint = new mapPrint({ "contentHTML": document.documentElement.innerHTML, "pageHeight": $('.tundra').height(), "pageWidth": $('.tundra').width(), "trgNodeRef": dom.byId("mapPrintLink"), "mapDescription": strMapDesc, "mapSource": strMapSource }); objMapPrint.print(); } HTML

Print
