Trigger two Javascript actions with onclick

Question

I have a button that need to trigger a div and a Google Analytics event. I can't get this to work. Right now, the div triggers fine, but the GA event does not trigger.

This is the HTML:

<a class="knappmedium knappfeedbackyes" href="#" onclick="showFeedback('yes');ga('send', 'event', 'Feedback', 'Feedback positive', 'PAGEURL');">YES</a>

Edit: This button will be on multiple pages, with the GA tacking parameters unique for each instance it is used.

Help would be very much appreciated!

Kind regards, Pete

Why don't you try querySelector ?

document.querySelector('.knappmedium.knappfeedbackyes').addEventListener('click', function(){
    showFeedback('yes');
    ga('send', 'event', 'Feedback', 'Feedback positive', 'PAGEURL');
});

Your code is correct, verify that:

You are using google analytics.js instead of gtag.js. You can follow the instructions here.
Verify that you have added correctly analitycs js here
The analitycs.js should be added before the events that you want to call.
Verify that you have the correct GA api key.

It does work. Check the snippet below.

function showFeedback(){
  console.log('showFeedback');
}

function ga(){
  console.log('ga');
}

<a href="#" onclick="showFeedback();ga();">YES</a>
