In HTML I have text in text tag:

<text id="aaa" > text</text>

Is it possible to add onclick event to this ?

Tried

var a = document.getElementById('aaa'); 
a.elemm.addEventListener('click', function(){ alert('blah');}, false);

• javascript
• html

• your code is working fine just remove the a.elemm part a. itself will work fine – GraveyardQueen Commented Dec 2, 2016 at 8:47

You're almost there! Just change a.elemm.addEventListener to a.addEventListener :

var a = document.getElementById('aaa'); 
a.addEventListener('click', function(){ alert('blah');}, false);

<text id="aaa"> text</text>

This works:

var a = document.getElementById('aaa'); 
a.addEventListener('click', function(){ alert('blah');}, false);

You just have a little mistake

try to something like this.

<text id="aaa" > text</text>

var a = document.getElementById('aaa'); 
a.addEventListener('click', function(){ alert('Text has been changes');}, false);
