d3.select('#legend')
    .on('click', function() {
        // Add your click event handling code here
        console.log('Legend clicked!');
    });


  1. Inside the click event handler, you can add the code to trigger the desired action when the legend text is clicked, such as opening a popup, navigating to a different page, or updating the visualization.
  2. Optionally, you can style the legend text to make it appear clickable to the user. You can use CSS to change the cursor style to 'pointer' and/or apply different styles (e.g., color, font-weight) to indicate that it is clickable.


By following these steps, you can make the legend text clickable in d3.js and improve the interactivity of your visualization.
