I have a page with the following code:

<a id="test" href="someurl" onclick="somefunction">link</a>

I need to actually read the ‘onclick’ data. As such, I would like something to the effect of

alert(document.getElementById('test').onClick)

Sadly, it returns undefined. What do I need to do to get somefunction?

    Assuming the tag is well-formed, a tag’s attribute can be obtained via Element.getAttribute.

    document.getElementById('test').getAttribute('onclick')
    // -> "somefunction"
