jQuery.click() vs onClick

Question

Can anyone help me with what is the difference between jQuery.click() vs onclick methods? Which is better?

Answer 1

Basically, the click() function is better as it is based on the standard event registration model. Also, you can add more than one event listener to any target and you can call addEventListener() for that particular target.

var myEl = document.getElementById('myelement');

myEl.addEventListener('click', function() {

    alert('Hello world');

}, false);

myEl.addEventListener('click', function() {

    alert('Hello world again!!!');

}, false);

I hope this will help.
