html - Detecting Touch in a Div Box ? Javascript -

say have setup basic div :

<div id='signaturebox'></div> 

i want register whenever box clicked on / touched in area. trying without success :

//register signature callback var signature = document.getelementbyid("signaturebox"); signature.onclick() = function () { alert('signature javascript triggered');         } 

can ?

thanks !

you've put in parentheses unneeded onclick in javascript. correct working code here

var signature = document.getelementbyid("signaturebox"); signature.onclick = function () {     alert('signature javascript triggered'); }
