PRO TIP: When creating a website with Wix, be careful when adding an Onclick Event. This can cause your website to become unresponsive and may even crash. If you must add an Onclick Event, be sure to test your website thoroughly afterwards to ensure it is still functioning correctly.
<script>
   $w.onReady(function () {
   $w("#button1").onClick( (event) => {
   alert("You clicked me!");
   });
});
</script>

Finally, you can also add an onclick event directly to your HTML code. To do this, simply add the following code to the element you want to add the onclick event to:

onclick="alert('You clicked me!')"

No matter which method you choose, adding an onclick event to Wix is easy and can be done in just a few minutes.
