title: Onclick Event Attribute
---
## Onclick Event Attribute
When the element is clicked fires a event.
It works just like the *onclick method* or `addEventListener('click')` to the element.
```html
<element onclick="event"></element>
```
> `event` can be a JavaScript function or you can write raw JavaScript
### Examples
Changing the color of a ```<p>``` element when clicked
```html
<p id="text" onclick="redify()">Change my color</p>
<script>
function redify(){
let text = document.querySelector('#text');
text.style.color = "red";
}
</script>
```
Using raw JavaScript onclick attribute:
```html
<button onclick="alert('Hello')">Hello World</button>
```
