How to Handle Button Click Events in jQuery

Question

I need to have a button and handle its event in jQuery. And I am writing this code but it'snot working. Did I miss something?

<!-- Begin Button -->  
<div class="demo">
<br> <br> <br>   
<input id = "btnSubmit" type="submit" value="Release"/>
<br> <br> <br>  
</div>
<!-- End Button -->

And in the javascript file

function btnClick()
{
    //    button click
    $("#btnSubmit").button().click(function(){
        alert("button");
    });    
}

jQuery click() Method

The click event occurs when an element is clicked. The click() method triggers the click event, or attaches a function to run when a click event occurs.
