Question

I have a <div> that I would like to use as a link.

Is using JQuery’s data method to attach the URL I want to link to a ‘good practice’ way accomplish this?

Having a the <div> trigger a click event on a nested <a> tag was starting to get messy.

Answer 1

An alternative, if the <a> is nested within the <div> you’re talking about:

$('#someDiv').click(function(){
    window.location.href = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
});

Though seeing more of your code would help to find the most optimal answer.
