Question

I have a DIV, which contains a label with the user’s name. The onclick event is bound to that DIV.

I want that user’s name to append with URL of the current page.

My user’s name is in a model.

I have read about backbone.js router & seen some examples also but those example use the A tag for routing, which uses whatever is there in its attribute HREF.

But I want it to be done on a DIV’s click.

I have started reading backbone.js 2 days ago so I am not getting how to achieve this.
What should be my approach to get it done? Thanks for any suggestions.

You can also manually navigate in code using the router’s navigate method,

$('#yourDiv').bind('click', function(e) {
 yourRouter.navigate("aroute/something", {trigger: true});
});
