Two onClick actions one button

Question

Does someone know a wizards trick to make it work ?

<input type="button" value="Dont show this again! " onClick="fbLikeDump();" onclick="WriteCookie();" />

PS: I am using it in a .js file.

Answer 1

Additional attributes (in this case, the second onClick) will be ignored. So, instead of onclick calling both fbLikeDump(); and WriteCookie();, it will only call fbLikeDump();. To fix, simply define a single onclick attribute and call both functions within it:

<input type="button" value="Don't show this again! " onclick="fbLikeDump();WriteCookie();" />

Answer 2

Try it:

<input type="button" value="Dont show this again! " onClick="fbLikeDump();WriteCookie();" />

Or also

<script>
function clickEvent(){
    fbLikeDump();
    WriteCookie();
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="Dont show this again! " onClick="clickEvent();" />

Answer 3

<input type="button" value="..." onClick="fbLikeDump(); WriteCookie();" />

Answer 4

Give your button an id something like this:

<input id="mybutton" type="button" value="Dont show this again! " />

Then use jquery (to make this unobtrusive) and attach click action like so:

$(document).ready(function (){
    $('#mybutton').click(function (){
       fbLikeDump();
       WriteCookie();
    });
});

(this part should be in your .js file too)

I should have mentioned that you will need the jquery libraries on your page, so right before your closing body tag add these:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://PATHTOYOURJSFILE"></script>

The reason to add just before body closing tag is for performance of perceived page loading times
