[Solved] Why do JavaScript functions work this way?

by


You’re in luck! The latter code will work in JavaScript as well.

Below, I’ve outlined three different ways you can achieve this using a more familiar syntax.

// The function to call
function MyFunc(){
  alert('Working!');
}

// Option 1 (Link 1)
document.getElementById("one").addEventListener("click", MyFunc);

// Option 2 (Link 2)
document.getElementById("two").onclick = MyFunc;
<a href="#" id="one">Link 1</a><br>
<a href="#" id="two">Link 2</a><br>
<a href="#" id="three" onclick="MyFunc()">Link 3</a>
