Metro Apps with HMTL5: Listing 3.

The modified default.js code, adding a click event.

(function () {
  "use strict";

  var app = WinJS.Application;
  var activation = Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation;
  WinJS.strictProcessing();

  app.onactivated = function (args) {
    if (args.detail.kind === activation.ActivationKind.launch) {

        activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated) {
        // TODO: This application has been newly launched. Initialize
        // your application here.
      } else {
        // TODO: This application has been reactivated from suspension.
        // Restore application state here.
      }
      args.setPromise(WinJS.UI.processAll());

      // Get the Element ID of our OK Button and attach an event handler to it. 
      var OKButton = document.getElementById("questionButton");
      OKButton.addEventListener("click", OKbuttonClickHandler, false);

    }
  };

  app.oncheckpoint = function (args) {
    // TODO: This application is about to be suspended. Save any state
    // that needs to persist across suspensions here. You might use the
    // WinJS.Application.sessionState object, which is automatically
    // saved and restored across suspension. If you need to complete an
    // asynchronous operation before your application is suspended, call
    // args.setPromise().
  };
