halt the execution till the button is clicked javascript

If I have one function which binds some buttons to another function, How can I execute some codes in the same function only after the button is clicked? For example, in below code, button.onclick assigns funct2(this.value) to the button and goes below in the function to execute the remaining code. What I want to achieve is to halt the execution till the some click event happens.

function funct1(){

  //some other codes
  button.onclick=function(){funct2(this.value)};

 //CODES TO BE EXECUTED AFTER THE FUNCT2 RESPONDS TO SOME USER CLICK



function funct2(){

//some codes

}

Whatever code you need to be executed onclick, you must put in funct2 callback. There is no other way to temporarily 'halt' the execution of javascript and have it restart on certain event.

Don't know why you are confused about this, try it this way:

Move the code to a third function & call it after the func2 executes...

function funct1(){

  //some other codes
  button.onclick=function(){funct2(this.value)};

  function func3() {

  //CODES TO BE EXECUTED AFTER THE FUNCT2 RESPONDS TO SOME USER CLICK

  }

  function funct2(){

  //some codes

  func3();

  }
