Question

I am trying to get CakePHP working with JQuery.
Below is the div that I have in place, and all I am trying to do is simply alert(“CLICKED!”); whenever the below link is clicked.

<?php echo $this->Html->link('Link Click Me', '#', array('onclick'=>'return false;', 'id'=>'divId', 'class'=>'divClass')); ?>

I have the following files ‘jquery-1.5.2.js’ and ‘js_file.js’ in the ‘js’ directory of the ‘webroot’ folder in my project, and JQuery is working, but I cant seem to get this particular functionality working.

Any suggestions??

Code for jquery:

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('.divClass').click( function(){
        alert("TESTING!");
    });

});

And this is the view:

<?php echo $this->Html->link('Link Click Me', '#', array(  'id'=>'divId', 'class'=>'divClass')); ?>

I am still looking for an answer to this question guys….

Answer 1

Post your jQuery code for the alert.

You may need to use bind() instead of click().

Remove onclick=”return false;” from the link and add return false; to the end of the jQuery click function.
