Momentary Pushbutton on webserver starting tare on esp32

Hi
I am trying to implement a momentary pushbutton running on a website that runs a function on my ESP32 board when clicked. I am using code from randomnerdtutorials and would like to add a tare function. (there's many toggle a LED examples, but I am looking for something that works 'onclick' and doesn't involve a state change. I would be grateful for any help.

  <p>
    <td><input type="button" onclick="TARESCALE;" ></td>
    <td>Tare</td>
  </p>

The whole code minus the toggle handling is here, getWeight, Temp and tare are not yet implemented and just return a constant at the moment.

Which one is it a ESP32 or an ESP8266?

ESP32
thus only
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h>
are included.

Thanks
