I'm struggling in linking an HTML link <a> with a JavaScript function using Google Apps Script. I tried the following, but it left me with this error message:

"Unsafe JavaScript attempt to initiate navigation for frame with origin 'https://script.google.com' from frame with URL 'different url'. The frame attempting navigation must be same-origin with the target if navigating to a javascript: url"

My code:

var link = document.createElement("a");
link.setAttribute("href", "javascript:test()");
link.textContent = "Click";

//----------------------------------------------
function test() {
    console.log("Test");
}

The code is placed in an HTML file between:

<script>
</script>

Everything is coded in the IDE of Google Apps Script.

don't use href. Use the onclick event for JavaScript functions.

href is an attribute used to define the target of the link. The right attribute to use for click-triggered events is onclick.

See the W3C documentation for href and onclick
