Hi everyone.

I got stuck in step 37 where lesson i saying me to do this
“Use dot notation to set the onclick property of your button1 to the function reference of goStore. This function will be something you write later. Note that button1 is already declared, so you don’t need to use let or const.”

And i return i am giving this awnser

goStore=button1.onclick;

but still i am not able to clear this can anybody just guide me wether i am doing it right or wrong

you need to swap position of the two variables here, you assign stuff to the onclick property, so it has to be on the left of the =

Hey @Sadi, It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

Hello!

goStore is a function, so you need to add the parentheses at the end, it would look like this goStore(). and the question tells you to reference the button in the function, so it would look like this REDACTED SOLUTION

Tks.

The ‘goStore’ function has to be declared before it can be assigned to the ‘onclick’ event. I tried to do both at once and it did not work. Guess you just gotta stick to freeCodeCamp’s criteria.

La respuesta es button1.onclick = goStore();

That isn’t correct. The fact that the code you posted passes the test is a bug.

The parentheses in front of the function identifier will call the function.

Doing so would assign the return value of calling the function and not the function definition. The onclick property should be assigned the function identifier so it can call the function when the element is clicked.

element.EventAttribute = someFuncitionName;

Not

element.EventAttribute = someFuncitionName();
