Question

I have a link button that I want to change it onclick callback function when clicked:

I am using .attr() to change the onclick event but it simply doesn’t work.

$('#' + test).text('Unlike');
$('#' + test).attr("onclick", "return deleteLikeComment('"
        + CommentsWrapper + "','" + activityID + "', '" + test + "');");

But it simply doesn’t work.

I just want to switch the callback method when the link is clicked.

Answer 1

Why are you attaching the event with an attr?

Why not just do like so:

$('#' + test).bind("click", function()
{
    //functionality that you were trying to add using attr can now go inside here.
});
