I think the OP does want it to follow the link, but show the alert first ?
So "return false" is not required.
OP - make sure jQuery is loading (there's no error if it doesn't). Try
just an alert message within $(document).ready() itself.

Hi,
You need to return false so the anchor tag does not behave in its
normal way (ie, take you to the link specified).
So this should work:
$("a").click(function(event){
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
return false;
});

Hallo
Im new to jQuery. I have donwloaded the jquery-1.3.2min file and i
have copied that introduction code from the website and saved it in
the same directory as the jquery file. When i run the script it seems
to be working and when i click on the link it goes to the website, but
isnt this script suppose to show an alert message first, before it
goes to the website?
Please what am i doing wrong? Have a saved it correctly or is the file
i donwloaded not valid? Please help. The code follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(event){
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://jquery.com/";>jQuery</a>
</body>
</html>
=================== ===================Go for this script you can see now ur
click function will execute first & then it will go for link
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(event){
window.href="http://jquery.com/";; <http://jquery.com/>
alert("Thanks for visiting!");
return true;
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="# <http://jquery.com/>">jQuery</a>
</body>
</html>
