You're looking for the onClick attribute to execute a javascript function when clicked. This is reasonably well-documented and you should be able to find examples using any search engine.

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ev_onclick.asp

<element onclick="script">

In your case, perhaps:

script = "myFunction()" 
body = "<button id='b' onclick='" + script + "'>I'm a button</button>"

Note this assumes you're using a python script to create the HTML which will render the page(s). The solution (without more detail/clarification) is obviously the onClick attribute, but that calls a javascript function.

If you need to call python function, see this link on SO:

No! I'm looking to do it in python. I already know how to do that with JS.
