[jQuery] Re: problems extracting links and redirecting to function

[Karl Swedberg]

I think it would be a lot simpler to rely on jQuery's implicit  
iteration:

$( "#wiki_content a" ).click(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  var link = $(this).text();
  searchDelay( link );
});

can anyone please see waht's wrong with this

I want to get all <a> tags in the div #wiki_content and get the text
from
it and send into a function called searchDelay... im not getting as
far as
jumping into the $.each loop so not sure waht's wrong


var links = $( "#wiki_content a" );

        $.each( links, function( event ){
                $(this).click(function( event ){
                event.preventDefault();
                var link = $(this).text();
                searchDelay( link );
                });
        });

many thanks
