Uncaught ReferenceError: getDance is not defined at HTMLButtonElement.onclick

Michael Barraclough

If you click the Accept button at michaelbarraclough.uk/test#download the Accept and Reject buttons should disappear and a Download button should appear. Neither thing happens.

The console says: Uncaught ReferenceError: getDance is not defined
at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (VM226313 test:1:1)

The javascript function is added via Sourcerer and you can see it in the page source (part of <HEAD>. but same issue if I put it at the end of the <HTML> section

<script> 
function getDance() { 
 document.getElementById("yesNo").style.display = "none"; 
 document.getElementById("getPDF").style.display = "block"; 
} 
</script>

You can also see the onclick () is present in the page source

<div id="yesNo" style="text-align: center;"><button id="accept" class="mab-button green" onclick="getDance()">Accept</button> <button id="reject" class="mab-button red">Reject</button></div>
<div id="getPDF"><a href="/images/mabDownload/Addington Tunnel Dance.pdf" class="mab-button" style="display: none;" download=""> Download </a></div>

The code logic works fine when I use the W3Schools Try-It Editor.

What am I doing wrong, please?

You now have a <script> tag inside a <script> tag. Not sure how you are adding this script via Sourcerer, but you are not doing it correctly.

Please read the documentation:

Thank you. I had not appreciated that I did not need to include the <script> ... < /script> tags when I added the function via Sourcerer. I have removed these and the JavaScript function is now being found (sadly, not working, but that is a different issue to be solved). Thank you for the prompt and helpful support.
