jQuery hyperlinks - href value?
href, hyperlink, jquery
Solution
$('a').click(function (event)
{
event.preventDefault();
//here you can also do all sort of things
});
Then you can put in every `href` whatever you want and jQuery will trigger the `preventDefault()` method and you will not be redirected to that place.
Problem
On my website I use jQuery to hook the events of elements, namely hyperlinks. As these hyperlinks only perform actions on the current page, and do not lead anywhere, I have been putting a href attribute of "#" in: ``` <a href="#">My Link</a> ``` However in some browsers this causes the page to scroll right to top which is obviously undesirable behaviour. I've tried using a blank href value, or not including one, but then the mouse does not change to the hand cursor upon hovering. What should I put in there?
