In order for the button to do something when clicked, you need to add an event listener to the button element that will call a function when the button is clicked. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how you can add an event listener to the button element:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Button Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<button id="myButton">Click me!</button>
<script>
// Get the button element
var button = document.getElementById('myButton');
// Add an event listener to the button element
button.addEventListener('click', function() {
// Call a function when the button is clicked
myFunction();
});
// Define the function that will be called when the button is clicked
function myFunction() {
alert('Button was clicked!');
// Add your code here to perform an action when the button is clicked
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
In this example, when the button with the id "myButton" is clicked, the `myFunction` function is called, and an alert message is shown. You can replace the `alert` function with your own code that you want to run when the button is clicked.
Maeve created a button, but it doesn’t do anything yet what needs to be added to that a function will be called to run when the user clicks the button
