I would like to run the javascript below using href.
But by clicking on the supposed link Log Out, nothing happens. If I hold the cursor over the link it shows me the destination as javascript:logout()

function logout() {
    var choose = confirm("Deseja realmente sair?");
    if (choose == true) {
        location="Main.html";
    } else {
			
    }
<nav id="menuOp"> 
    <a href="javascript:logout()">Log Out</a></br>
    <b>Olá, #</b>
</nav>

javascript html

  • Do you really have to use href? For what reason?

    When a javascript code does not work, open the browser console and see if it prints out any error messages. If what happened is what @Joaopaulo said, probably allgum error was spat on the console and you wouldn’t even need to have created that question...

    You opened it up function logout() { but did not close with }, and a typo.

In your script failed to close the logout function

logout(){ 
   //conteudo
}

You can also exchange href for onclick:

<a onclick="javascript:logout()">Log Out</a>

  • Thank you so much for seeing this mistake that went unnoticed and the onclick tip
