Create a click event in a marker popup with Mapbox.js and jQuery.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>Click event in a popup</title>
<meta name='viewport' content='initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no' />
<script src='https://api.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/v3.2.1/mapbox.js'></script>
<link href='https://api.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/v3.2.1/mapbox.css' rel='stylesheet' />
<style>
  body { margin:0; padding:0; }
  #map { position:absolute; top:0; bottom:0; width:100%; }
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id='map'></div>

<!-- jQuery is required for this example. -->
<script src='https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js'></script>
<script>
L.mapbox.accessToken = '<your access token here>';
var map = L.mapbox.map('map')
    .setView([43.6475, -79.3838], 14)
    .addLayer(L.mapbox.styleLayer('mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11'));

var marker = L.marker([43.6475, -79.3838], {
      icon: L.mapbox.marker.icon({
        'marker-color': '#9c89cc'
      })
    })
    .bindPopup('<button class="trigger">Say hi</button>')
    .addTo(map);

// The HTML we put in bindPopup doesn't exist yet, so we can't just say
// $('#mybutton'). Instead, we listen for click events on the map element which
// will bubble up from the tooltip, once it's created and someone clicks on it.
$('#map').on('click', '.trigger', function() {
    alert('Hello from Toronto!');
});
</script>

to create your own custom map and use it in this example.
