How Do I Use a Button to Trigger JavaScript?

Hey guys,

I am using an OptimizePress "Add to Cart" button. I want it to trigger this javascript code:

<a href="http://gum.co/sogr">The Science of Getting Ripped_draft</a><script type="text/javascript" src="https://gumroad.com/js/gumroad.js"></script>

When I add that to my page, I see the vendor provided "add to cart" button, but I want that code to trigger my OptimizePress "Add to Cart" button.

If you go to www.TheScienceofGettingRipped.com/guide you'll see what I mean. Currently, if you click the "Add to Cart" button, it redirects you to another site. However, if you click the vendor provided button, it triggers the javascript overlay.

How can I use my button with their javascript overlay?

Thanks in advance!

  • I'm not real clear on exactly what you're trying to accomplish here, but if you simply want a button click to trigger an external Javascript file, then you can do this (jQuery)...

    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#myButton").click(function(){
    $.getScript("full/path/to/js/file.js");
  });
});
</script>
    ^ The above example assumes that your button has the ID "myButton". And you'll need to change the path to the real path of your js file.
