I try to create button which starts an alert after a click event. Something like that :

    
    

        
Apache          


        
      

Answer 1

Here is a jQuery example

html

            EXECUTE    

jquery

$(".start-button").click(function (e) {  //note that 'onclick="HandleExec();return false;" doesnt work
    e.preventDefault();
    // here you can handle the click code you wanted
});

make sure that you call event.preventDefault(); so it doesn't try to go to the href in the html tag. That will just reload the cordova app in this case.
