[wp-hackers] Adding onclick event to Publish button

[Viper007Bond]

jQuery is your friend.

<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        jQuery("#publish").click(function() {
            alert("Publish button was clicked.");
        });
    });
/* ]]> */
</script>
