Link to a JavaScript function via href

Question

I'm struggling in linking an HTML link <a> with a JavaScript function using Google Apps Script. I tried the following, but it left me with this error message:

"Unsafe JavaScript attempt to initiate navigation for frame with origin ' https://script.google.com ' from frame with URL 'different url'. The frame attempting navigation must be same-origin with the target if navigating to a javascript: url"

My code:

var link = document.createElement("a");
link.setAttribute("href", "javascript:test()");
link.textContent = "Click";

//----------------------------------------------
function test() {
    console.log("Test");
}

The code is placed in an HTML file between:

<script>
</script>

Everything is coded in the IDE of Google Apps Script.

Answer 1

don't use href. Use the onclick event for JavaScript functions.

Answer 2

Use the onclick javascript function instead:

<a onclick="myFunction()">Click me</a>

Answer 3

href is an attribute used to define the target of the link. The right attribute to use for click-triggered events is onclick .

See the W3C documentation for href and onclick
