How Do Buttons Work in Wix?

Last updated on January 3, 2023 @ 2:23 pm

A button is a graphical control element that allows a user to trigger an event, typically associated with the opening, closing, or performing of a dialog box, window, or form.

The most common button-like control element is the push button, which is a rectangular area that can contain text or an image. When the user clicks on a push button, an event is fired.

In Wix, buttons are created using the <b>button</b> element.

This element defines a clickable button. The <b>onclick</b> attribute is used to specify the action that should be performed when the button is clicked.

The <b>button</b> element can contain one of two types of content:

  • Text: The text that should be displayed on the button.
  • Image: An image that should be displayed on the button.
PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with HTML or coding, we do not recommend trying to figure out how buttons work in Wix. It is very easy to accidentally break something on your website when you are editing code, and unless you know what you are doing, it can be very difficult to fix.

Here is an example of a button with text:

<button onclick="alert('Hello World! ')">Click Me!</button>

When you click on a push button in Wix, an event is fired off. This event can be anything from opening or closing a dialog box to submitting a form. The OnClick attribute is used to specify what action should be taken when the button is clicked.

The Button element in Wix can contain either text or images. If you want to display text on your button, simply type in the text that you want to appear between the opening and closing tags. For example:

Hello there! Click me!

If you want to add an image to your button instead of text, use the Image element. Images must be stored in a format that Wix can understand, such as .jpg, .gif, or .png files. You can also use animated GIFs for your buttons as well.
