jqueryHow can I use jQuery to handle a button click event?


Using jQuery, you can easily handle a button click event. Here is an example code block demonstrating how to do that:

$("button").click(function(){
    alert("Button was clicked!");
});

When the button is clicked, an alert message will be displayed:

Button was clicked!

The code is composed of the following parts:

  1. $("button") - Selects the button element.
  2. click() - Attaches a click event handler to the button element.
  3. function(){ ... } - A callback function to execute when the button is clicked.
  4. alert("Button was clicked!") - Displays an alert message when the button is clicked.
