Emi_98 0 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 Hello, fellow developers or learners. I was trying to implement an example I saw here: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_whereto.asp. The script was function myFunction() { document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Paragraph changed.";} . It was titled ‘File.js’ . The HTML text was <!doctype HTML> <HTML> <BODY> <h2>An External JavaScript</h2> <p ID = "demo">A paragraph</p> <button type = "BUTTON" ONCLICK = "myFunction">TRY IT</button> <script src = "content://com.estrongs.files/storage/emulated/0/JavaScript/File.js"></script> </BODY> </HTML> When I load the HTML page and I click the “Try it” button, *A paragraph* does not change to *paragraph changed*. Do you understand what I'm trying to say, please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_Larham 0 Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 Hi there, I made two changes to your HTML text, then tested it in my PHP Storm IDE and it worked - *A paragraph* successfully changed to *paragraph changed*. 1. You need to add empty parentheses after the name of the function that is called in response to a button click - i.e. "onclick="myFunction()". 2. You need to change the 'src' value of the script element, like this: "script src="https://www.w3schools.com/js/myScript.js". You should find that making those two simple changes makes your code functional; it worked for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ishan_shah 2 Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 add parameter in your onClick call like '().' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
