onclick event in html string

[vamshi_26]

I have a use case where my content editable div accepts only string inside it but it shows the html elements as they are supposed to be shown on website but as per the configurations mentioned in  package. They have mentioned the attributes but not click events. Now, if I have string as `some text here <button onclick=someFunction()>button</button>`. Here someFunction is directly being called without triggering button because I think it is in string. How can I call `someFunction()` only when button is clicked.

<button onclick="someFunction()">button</button>

Have you added the quotes? The function starts on the page load?

[shaili_shah]

i think you need to add double quotes arround function name

<button onclick = "someFunction()" >button</button>

I'm sure I've seen that same answer before, but I can't in the life of me remember where?

Try using this way : 

<button onclick = "someFunction()">Button</button>

 

Else you can even try :

 

<button class="someFunction">button</button>

<script>
$(".someFunction").click(function(){
    alert("This is a function");
  });
</script>
