Answer 1

Simply, use addEventListener method:

buttonRef.addEventListener("click", function() {
    alert("Blah blah...");
}, false);

(You'll have to Google for cross-browser solution. IE doesn't support addEventListener)

Where buttonRef is a reference to button. How can you get that reference? There's lots of ways to do that. You can use document.getElementById() or any other method from this "family".
