Name
HTMLElement.onclick: event handler invoked when the user clicks on an element â DOM Level 0
Synopsis
Function onclick
Description
The onclick property of an
HTMLElement object specifies an event-handler function that is invoked
when the user clicks on the element. Note that onclick is different from onmousedown. A click event does not occur
unless a mousedown event and the subsequent mouseup event both occur
over the same element.
