Yes, it is definitely possible to launch JavaScript from a button in Webflow. Webflow provides built-in functionality to add custom code, including JavaScript, to your projects. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Add a button element: Start by adding a button element to your Webflow project. You can do this by dragging and dropping the "Button" component from the Elements Panel onto your canvas.

  2. Add a custom attribute: Select the button element and navigate to the "Settings" panel on the right-hand side. Scroll down to the "Attributes" section and click on the "+" button to add a new custom attribute. Name the attribute something like "onclick" or "data-click" (without the quotes).

  3. Add the JavaScript code: Double-click on the custom attribute field you just created and enter the JavaScript code you want to execute when the button is clicked. For instance, you can use the following code to display an alert message when the button is clicked:
    ```
    alert('Button clicked!');
    ```

  4. Publish and test: Once you have added the JavaScript code, make sure to publish your Webflow project. Then, navigate to the published version of your site and click on the button you added. You should see the JavaScript code being executed and the alert message appearing.

By following these steps, you can easily launch JavaScript from a button in Webflow.
