--description--

You want your code to execute only once your page has finished loading. For that purpose, you can attach a JavaScript event to the document called DOMContentLoaded. Here's the code that does this:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {

});

You can implement event handlers that go inside of the DOMContentLoaded function. You can implement an onclick event handler which triggers when the user clicks on the #getMessage element, by adding the following code:

document.getElementById('getMessage').onclick = function(){};

--instructions--

Add a click event handler inside of the DOMContentLoaded function for the element with id of getMessage.

--hints--

Your code should use the document.getElementById method to select the element whose id is getMessage.

assert(code.match(/document\s*\.getElementById\(\s*?('|")getMessage\1\s*?\)/g));

Your code should add an onclick event handler.

assert(typeof document.getElementById('getMessage').onclick === 'function');
