The code provided does not generate a clickable "link", but rather creates a label
that activates the selection of its associated radio button when clicked. The use of <label>
enhances accessibility by facilitating clicking on items, especially on small screens, and is also beneficial for screen readers.
The inclusion of onclick
in the code triggers a separate JavaScript function named changeButton
, passing the string '2'
to it. However, without defining the function itself, its exact purpose remains unclear, distinct from the interaction involving the label
and the radio
button.
// Since the label's HTML includes an onclick event, this function will execute
// when the label is clicked with the value '2' being passed to it.
function changeButton(input){
console.log("You triggered the changeButton function with the value: " + input);
}
<input type="radio" id="button-2" name="button-group-1">
<label onclick="changeButton('2');" for="button-2">Clicking here or on the radio button selects the button, while only clicking this text triggers the onclick event linked to the label.</label>
To create an actual hyperlink, you can simply utilize the HTML <a>
element meant for hyperlinks:
