Unable to execute javascript user function within Content Editor

Question

Trying to implement some javascript functions within the content editor. I have more advanced code to implement, but am not able to even execute the following code. The user defined function will not execute when the link is pressed.

<script type="”text/javascript”">

function Adding(a,b) {
    alert(a+b);
}

</script>

<a href="javascript:Adding(3,4)">Click here to add two numbers</a> 

This is implemented in a Content Editor. I can implement javascript defined functions, but it will not execute a user defined function like the example above.

Any thoughts? This is on a Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise corporate intranet.

Answer 1

Change the below code:

<a href="javascript:Adding(3,4)">Click here to add two numbers</a> 

to something like this and try:

<button onclick="javascript:Adding(3,4)">Click here to add two numbers</button> 

Answer 2

I found the syntax error in my code.

<script type="”text/javascript”"> should be <script type="text/javascript">
