Hi @Simon82 - welcome to the forums! Can you please share your code? You can paste your HTML into your response here and use the `` code icon from the toolbar to format it as code 🙂 We can then take a look and see what is going on. Alternatively, can you see if there is an error in the Console for your example after you click on the button? > **[Console Logging Basics](https://www.kirupa.com/html5/console.htm)** > > Go beyond silly alert statements and learn how to use the console to get a better view into what your code is doing. Thanks, Kirupa ---

Hey mate, Assuming the you have the `` (this delays your script until after the page has loaded) then put your event listeners in the `"main.js"` as usual 2- easy- add the html `onclick = “runSomeFunction()”` attribute to your ` `Preformatted text`e or paste code here ``` ---

Hey mate, - you cant add `eventListeners` to DOM elements before they have loaded… - the `` gets loaded before the `` and your `

?

@ayaan919 - welcome to the forums! Can you share in more detail what problem you are having? If you can share a link to your page or the HTML/CSS/JS, that would be helpful 🙂
