onClick( )

Adds an event handler that runs when the element is clicked.

An element receives a click event when a user clicks on the element and releases.

When a user double-clicks an element, two click events are fired before a doubleClick event is also fired.

You can also define an event handler using the Properties and Events panel.

Note: Do not use the Editor Link panel to redirect on click when a link is already defined using the onClick() function. To avoid unpredictable behavior, remove the link from the Editor Link panel.
