Element click handler

HTML elements can do something when they are clicked. This is because a JavaScript function can be connected to an HTML element. Here is one snippet in which the JavaScript function associated with the element is specified in the HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <div id="one" onclick="alert('Ouch! Stop it!')">Don't click here!</div>
  </body>
</html>

Whenever the text in the div gets clicked, a pop up with the text Ouch! Stop it! opens. Here, the JavaScript is specified directly after onclick, but if there is JavaScript on the page, you can also refer to a function that's in that JavaScript like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <script>
      function stop(){
        alert("Ouch! Stop it!");
      }
    </script>
    <div id="one" onclick="stop()">Don't click here!</div>
