How to create a link for List's NewForm.aspx that opens in Modal Dialog?

Hello Forum

I have a custom list, and I want to create a direct link on the home page which points directly to adding a new item aka NewForm.aspx

So, I edited the page and add a link i.e. Click Here => (http://SharePointSite/Lists/WebEvents/NewForm.aspx)

But this link redirects to a new page which has the new form... !!! I don't want that !

I want that if user clicks on Click Here, then, The NewForm.aspx opens in Modal Dialog. I read that there is a way to accomplish this by using SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog("URL");  but how can I add the page? The link web part nor the hyperlink on the page will not accept that.

Could you please guide me ? 

I tried adding a script editor web part and inside it:

<input type="button" value="Register" name="Go" onclick="SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog("http://SharePointSite/Lists/WebEvents/NewForm.aspx");" />

It didn't work, Besides, I wish to have the link as a text and not a button !

Any help please?
