* Hi,
* I’m building a pop up which includes an onclick event.
* [Add to favorites](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pop-up-content-editor-blocking-me-from-adding-javascript/void(0)?output_format=md)
* -> Like this.
* .
* Is this disabled due to some security concerns? I’m pretty it’s plugin specific
since on simple posts it works.
* Thank you.

* Hi [@samsun34567](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samsun34567/),
* Could you provide me with some more information about how the setup actually
looks?
* If I understand this correctly, you are adding the code inside the popup content
by using Text editor, is that right?
* Could you share the exact code that you’re using so we could check it out further
on our end?
Please make sure to use CODE tag to wrap the code or share a link
to GitHub/PasteBin so that the formatting doesn’t get affected.
* Cheers,
Predrag

* Hi Predrag,
* Thanks for getting back to me.
* So we set up a function for users to add our page to their bookmark with a click
on the button using Javascript. This is what the script looks like:
* ```
function rudr_favorite(a) {
pageTitle=document.title;
pageURL=document.location;
try {
// Internet Explorer solution
eval("window.external.AddFa-vorite(pageURL, pageTitle)".replace(/-/g,''));
}
catch (e) {
try {
// Mozilla Firefox solution
window.sidebar.addPanel(pageTitle, pageURL, "");
}
catch (e) {
// Opera solution
if (typeof(opera)=="object") {
a.rel="sidebar";
a.title=pageTitle;
a.url=pageURL;
return true;
} else {
// The rest browsers (i.e Chrome, Safari)
alert('Press ' + (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('mac') != -1 ? 'Cmd' : 'Ctrl') + '+D to bookmark this page.');
}
}
}
return false;
}
```
* And the button:
`Add to favorites`
* This works well on regular pages. However if I add the button html to the pop-
up, it will only go to a 404 page with an URL of {pageurl}/void(0). And if I
go back to check on the pop-up editor, the html will be stripped away of the
Javascript component, leaving only
* `Add to favorites`

* Hello there [@samsun34567](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samsun34567/)
* I was able to replicate the stripping of the hyperlink attributes in Main Content
using the Text editor.
I’ve created a task for our developers about it, if there’s
any development on this we’ll keep you posted here. 🙂
* Thank you,
Dimitris
