recommended : can put script in separate file
window.onload = function () {

function respond(e) {

the code below does work because the getElementById runs after the button is drawn <!DOCTYPE html>

<title>window.onload function</title>

<body>
<button id="myButton">PressMe</button>
<script>
document.getElementById('myButton').addEventListener('click', respond);
</script>

using the window.onload function avoids both the race condition and the co-mingling
of interaction and structure <!DOCTYPE html>
