onClick field

Code field

Code carried out when the user clicks a tag.

Applies to...

• audio tag
• box tag
• button tag
• checkBox tag
• choiceBox tag
• clientFrame tag
• console tag instance
• ellipse tag
• img tag
• input tag
• line tag
• span tag
• table tag
• tabRow tag
• video tag

Sample usage

• <button {OK} onClick=<putLn {/ok}>> sends /ok to the program each time the button is clicked.
• <b.onClick.push <putLn {clicked}>> adds code to the onClick field of an existing tag.

Behaviour

A code field: holds code to be carried out each time the event happens. Add code after the tag is created with .push.

A click is a press and release of the left mouse button over the tag. Several tags can be listed, separated by commas; they are carried out in order.

Notes

Assigning code to onClick with <b.onClick <...>> carries the code out immediately instead of storing it. Use .push to add code to an existing tag.
