Take an action when Clicking a link

How can a do to execute a function when clicking a link?

Something like:


<p>Link</p>

<script>
$("p").click(function () {
$(this).myFunction();
});
</script>


<script> function myFunction(
)
</script>

 

<script>
$("p").click(function () {
  myFunction();
});
</script>

Code (markup):

Like that

 

<script>
$("#link_id").click(function () {

alert("Clicked");
return false;
});
</script>
This will disable the normal behaviour of the link so if the href is # it will not get you to the top of the page, it won't do anything else than showing the alert box. Even if the href is google.com it won't redirect there.

 

$(document).ready(function(e) {
$(document).delegate("#link_id","click",function(){
if(confirm("Would you like to continue to the link ?")) {
return true;
} else {
//in case you don't want to disable the behaviour of the link
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});

Code (markup):

Try the above...
