I’ve documented my problem here. I think the issue is that, since the cell is rerun every frame, the button is redrawn every frame which isn’t long enough for onclick to ever be triggered. Is there a workaround available?
One way to prevent people from having this problem in the future would be if the new hypertext literal supported React-style incremental updates. But maybe that would be a lot of work for limited benefit. In the meantime I’d be happy to know of any workaround!
If I use Mike Bostock’s recent bare bones nanomnorph wrapper [1] that trick does not work so simply. nanomorph chokes on the initial state when ‘this’ is null
Cool, you used Mike’s nanomorph? I am wondering if I should trash my notebook, its almost pointless now, but at the same time, it does handle a few tiny things and the name is semantic so I am not sure.
