Do buttons trigger stuff?

Question

I was testing code when I saw <button>. Can buttons trigger stuff in web language? And can it trigger stuff in games?

Answer 1

Yes, all you have to do is attach an onclick attribute to it, containing a Javascript function to run. For example:
<button onclick="runFunction()">
However, I believe buttons are outdated, and what you should do is use a input tag:
<input type="button" onclick="runFunction()">

Answer 2

All you have to do is use the onclick attribute for button, and attach a function written in Javascript to it. A function is basically a block of code that can be reused. That's as simple as I can explain it. The button basically runs the function once it's been clicked, or "on"+"click"; this is done through the onclick attribute.

Answer 3

You just place it in the button tag, like in my previous post.

Answer 4

Explain it more simpler.

Answer 5

What is the onclick and how do you do it,
