I am trying to add a click event to a LI element but it

  • 0

I am trying to add a click event to a LI element but it is not firing in the page. My page markup looks like:

<div id="Navigation">
<ul>
    <li class="navPrevNext inactive">|&lt; First Page</li>
    <li class="navPrevNext inactive">&lt; Prev Page</li>
    <li class="navIndex selected" title="0 ">1</li>
    <li class="navIndex notselected" title="1 ">2</li>
    <li class="navIndex notselected" title="2 ">3</li>
    <li class="navPrevNext active" title="1">Next Page &gt;</li>
    <li class="navPrevNext active" title="2">Last Page &gt;|</li>
</ul>
</div>

And in my JS code I have:

$("#Navigation li").live('click', function(e) { e.preventDefault; this.blur(); return updateNavigation($(this).attr('title')); });

Any thoughts?

TIA

    You sure you have jquery 1.3 included in your code? The following works fine (direct copy and paste from your question) for me when I click on any of the LIs:

    <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function updateNavigation(title) {
    alert(title);
}

$("#Navigation li").live('click', function(e) { 
    e.preventDefault; 
    this.blur(); 
    return updateNavigation($(this).attr('title')); 
});

</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Navigation">
<ul>
    <li class="navPrevNext inactive">|&lt; First Page</li>
    <li class="navPrevNext inactive">&lt; Prev Page</li>
    <li class="navIndex selected" title="0 ">1</li>
    <li class="navIndex notselected" title="1 ">2</li>
    <li class="navIndex notselected" title="2 ">3</li>
    <li class="navPrevNext active" title="1">Next Page &gt;</li>
    <li class="navPrevNext active" title="2">Last Page &gt;|</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>

    Are you sure your updateNavigation function is working right? Maybe it’s being triggered but something is wrong within it…
