Why Isn't My Evaluate Function Being Called On Click?

I am new to JS so please bear with me :) below is the code but on clicking it does not trigger the function

Solution 1:

evaluate() is a reserved function in JavaScript. Name your function something else.

The fact that the console error mentioned the need for two arguments was a clue that the function was defined somewhere already, and that your definition wasn't being considered.

<!DOCTYPE html><htmllang="en"><head><metacharset="UTF-8"><metahttp-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"content="IE=edge"><metaname="viewport"content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"><title>Document</title></head><body><buttontype="submit"onclick="notEvaluate()">Submit</button></body><scripttype="text/javascript">functionnotEvaluate() {
    document.write("Working");
  };
</script></html>

Regarding document.write, see Why is document.write considered a "bad practice"?.

Solution 2:

Try using a function name different than "evaluate" - evaluate is a reserved function name
