capture the click of the Twitter “Tweet” button using jQuery

Question

I have the following code on my site, which when it accesses Twitter\'s API generates it\'s own markup.

I\'m looking to call a JavaScript function on the onCli

Answer 1

You can't handle click events on this element, because it's in an iFrame, however twitter gives you the opportunity to bind events to the button.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/ZwHBf/2/ Docs: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/intents/events

Code: HTML:

    

        
    Tweet
  
    
    
    
​

JS:

twttr.events.bind('click', function(event) {
    console.log('clicked');
});​
