Cant interact with button (HTML & JS)

Question

<button>Like</button>

<script>
$("button").on("click", function() {
alert("Button Clicked!")
});
</script>

I am new to HTML / JS. Why can't I interact
with this button with the code above?

Answer 1

Yes, before using jQuery first I should import it. Then I am adding an "Id" to the button. Select the button with jQuery and then defined a function with event listener => "click".

Answer 3

Thanks very much. I noticed you added a JQuery script, named the button and assigned the JS code to the btn variable, which is the name of the button. I think I understand what you did. Thanks again for the response.
