I have a button with a onclick attribute which is pointing to the function test().

<button onclick=test()>Button 1</button>

<button onclick=test()>Button 2</button>

<button onclick=test()>Button 3</button>

Function test():

function test()

{

    var button_name = this.html;

    console.log(Im button + button_name);

}

How can I get informations about the clicked button?
e.g. How can i read the html?

Pass the this reference to the function, then read textContent property the text content of the node.

HTML

<button onclick="test(this)">Button 1</button>

Script

function test(clickedElement){

   var button_name = clickedElement.textContent;

}
