I’m using the WebDev and Perspective modules to create a custom page. In this page, I have a `Print` button, which I want to trigger a function inside my `index.html` text resource script. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/6/7626826c05d401ef64734b089d4548c223dc0ebb.png) Is it possible to bypass Perspective’s event handlers and add an **`onclick`** attribute directly to the button? For example (this is _ **not** _ what I want to do), show an alert on button click with `alert('Hello, World!')`. ---

It depends. If this button is being rendered by Perspective, then, no - the only way you can attach custom JS behavior is via a custom module that adds its own Perspective components. If the button is being rendered via webdev and hosted inside an iframe in a Perspective session, then, yes, you could attach your own code to it.
