Onclick event on HTML link dissapears on save

Hey w_archer,

The links you posted are the same as far as I can see, could you post a link to where we can see the actual element and try to explain a bit further please?

Hi,
Please try pasting your link into a plain text file as html and upload it to DropBox and link to it here.
I assume you are trying an on click event like this:

<a href="https://google.com" onClick='alert("You clicked the link")'>on click link</a>

If true then add this to your text element in the “text” tab and not in the “visual” tab, but the next time you edit the element the code will be striped.
To get around this use a link with a custom ID instead and add the event function to your functions.php or in a “code block” element on the page. For example, this would be your link:

<a href="#" id="myonclick">on click link</a>

and this would be in your code block element:

<script>
(function($){
$(window).load(function() {
$("#myonclick").on('click', function() {
  alert("You clicked the link");
  window.location = "https://www.google.com";
})
});
})(jQuery);
</script>

If you add this in your functions.php then change it to this:

function custom_script(){
  ?>
  <script>
(function($){
$(window).load(function() {
$("#myonclick").on('click', function() {
  alert("You clicked the link");
  window.location = "https://www.google.com";
})
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_script');

Hi,
Glad to hear, so to use your onClick for a phone link it would be:

(function($){
$(window).load(function() {
$("#myonclick").click( function() {
        ga('send', 'event', 'Phone_Click', 'Home_Page', '1300_668_387');
        window.location = "tel://1-555-555-5555";
})
});
})(jQuery);

be sure to adjust the phone number in the code.

Best regards,
Mike
