Question

How do you make a javascript “onClick” and an html “a href” merge into one link? I want that when I click on the link the first step is the “onClick” and the second when the “onClick” is successed you redirected with the “a href” to another page.

1. First step: onClick=”ajaxrequest(‘/includes/docx/boekenlijst.php’, ‘docgegevens’)

and

2. Second step: a href=”/Raymond_converters/docx/example.php”>doc

I hope you can help me but my English is not so good. I’m sorry for that.

Using jQuery, you could try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var call_ajax = true;
        $('#alink').click(function(e) {
            if (call_ajax) {
                e.preventDefault();
                // Do AJAX
                call_ajax = false;
            }
        }
</script>

<a href="http://www.google.com" id="alink">google</a>
