Question

I have been reading to stay away from JavaScript for a lot of things, however I was messing around with it and it doesnt seem to work (unless I am blind and have missed something)

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="text/javascript">
    function testResults() {
        System.out.println("Got into function");
}
</SCRIPT>

And this is my body:

<form action="" method="GET">
    <input type="button" value="Save" name="saveType" style="margin:10px;" onClick="testResults()"/>
</form>

From what I have seen of javascipt this should be fine…
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

to get it work use this instead:

Look here – jsfiddle

<form action="" method="GET">
    <input type="button" value="Save" name="saveType" style="margin:10px;" onClick="testResults()"/>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function testResults() {
        alert("Got into function");
}
</script>

it is type="text/javascript and not language="text/language" also in javascript you have to use alert().
