Calling Javascript on a Button

[aerosum]

Hi,

I have created a button using your shortcode.

I am not able to call a javascript function through it. It is just not taking the onclick= field when I add it manually inside the function shortcode. It is also ignoring the id attribute which I give it so I can use jquery or javascript written somewhere else to make this button execute a javascript code.

I went through all the fields of the shortcode generator but there no field where I can give it an id or call a JS function directly.

Can you please help me here.

Thanks in Advance

Hey!

Could you please supply a WP login credential for us and post a link to your site or page in question for us to investigate?

A likely work around will be to copy the generated HTML for the button from the front-end of your website and add in your required custom JS.

Thanks.

I could figure it out 🙂

The trick is that you have a placeholder called link=”(URL)” in your button shortcode.

Just add link="javascript:yourJsFunction()" as the URL.
