Why Isn't My Evaluate Function Being Called On Click?

I am new to JS so please bear with me :) below is the code but on clicking it does not trigger the function

Solution 1:

evaluate() is a reserved function in JavaScript. Name your function something else.

The fact that the console error mentioned the need for two arguments was a clue that the function was defined somewhere already, and that your definition wasn't being considered.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>

<body>
  <button type="submit" onclick="notEvaluate()">Submit</button>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function notEvaluate() {
    document.write("Working");
  };
</script>

</html>

Regarding document.write, see Why is document.write considered a "bad practice"?.


Solution 2:

Try using a function name different than "evaluate" - evaluate is a reserved function name
