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.

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>

I found the syntax error in my code.

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

  • I had cut and pasted code from an example into the content editor. I don't know if it was the source, or if sharepoint modified the text (funny stuff happens in content editor as it tries to interrupt javascript). <script type=""text/javascript""> Double quotes ... you can see in my original note that they are of a different format. – user3658710 Jun 2 '15 at 19:46
