Issue
I have a header element which needs to fire off some JavaScript when clicked. I know I should only use <a>
tags when the page is actually changing, and that <button>
s are preferred for JS functions, but for some reason it just feels wrong to do
<h2><button onclick="myFunction();">My Title</button></h2>
I can't put my finger on why that doesn't feel semantically correct. Is it just me?
Solution
What is the actual text for your button? Would it be appropriate as a heading on it's own?
the text for the button is the title of the content that's being revealed onclick
Then I think you're in good shape. I will however make a small suggestion that might make you feel better:
<h2><a href="#content">My Heading</a></h2>
<element id="content"> [your content] </element>
Then attach an onclick
handler in an external javascript file. If you remove it later the link will still be valid.
