Question

I am trying to setup an event function to react on clicked links in a menu, but unfortunately its not working.

This is JS code:

$('#menu a').click(function() {
    return "Do you really want to leave now?";
});

And the HTML bit:

<div id="menu">
    <a href="#"> Link1 </a>
    <a href="#"> Link2 </a>
</div>

It seems quite straight forward, but unfortunately not working.

Answer 1

You need you use an alert() or confirm(), like this:

$('#menu a').click(function() {
    return confirm("Do you really want to leave now?");
});
