Question

Hi,

Why does the button execute in a js editor but not in squiffy?

Many thanks,

It seems the script tag is messing up parsing the Squiffy file for some reason.

But you don't need to use script tags - you can run JavaScript by indenting it at the top of a passage or section.

For example, here's how you display your button and bind some JavaScript to it:

    $(document).on("click", "#enter-name", function () {
        alert('ok...');
    });

<button id="enter-name">Enter name</button>
