It actually has to do with your jQuery code.  `$()` actually returns a
jQuery instance with all the jQuery methods.  `onclick` is not an actual
jQuery method; you need to use the alternative
[`click`](http://api.jquery.com/click/) and pass it the function.  Like
so:

    window.onload = function() {
        $('#test_button').click(test_func);
    }

    function test_func() {
        alert('it works!');
    }

P.S. `$()` is a CSS-selector.  Ergo, passing it `test_button` means that
you want the `test_button` tag.  You should prefix it with the
id-selector (#).
