Inserting a big JavaScript in a html onlick Tag

Question

I have a big JavaScript Code in a html file like <script>CODE</script>

Now, this whole paragraph should only execute if the user clicks on a button (or something like that)

for example <button id="MyButton" onclick= ???>MyButton</Button>

Thanks Guys :)

i tried it. But I only find solutions for inserting functions and thats to much work for the hole code — Rouven H, Jun 13 '18 at 11:02
just have the whole code insite a function then call said function when you click the button — mast3rd3mon, Jun 13 '18 at 11:05

That's why **JavaScript** has `functions` and not just lines of code. Wrap it in `function fun{CODE}` to get it `onClick` — Vinod Srivastav, Jun 13 '18 at 11:37

Wrap your code in a function, and specify that function in your button onclick.

<script>
function doSomething() {
CODE
}
</script>
<button id="MyButton" onclick="doSomething()">MyButton</button>
