Using “if/else” with OnClick

Question

First of all, is it even possible to write if/else statements directly in html with onclick attribute? And if so, why is my code not working?

So this is a button. T

Answer 1

The reason your code is not working is because you need to escape your " quotation marks, otherwise it will be interpreted as the HTML attribute symbol.

And I agree with the others, it is a bad practice to write your JavaScript inline inside your HTML.
