Question

I have a list of auto-generated anchor tags from my code-behind which HREFs are a combination of # and the ID from an object extracted from a database.

What I need to do is to get the HREF using Javascript and put in to a function.

function someFunction(hrefValue){
    // Run some functionallity here
}

I imagine that I have to, in my code-behind, add an onclick to my auto-generated anchor tags:

Controls.Add(new LitarelControl("<a href='#"+ item.ID+"' onclick='someFunction();'>Hi</a>");

A friend of mine told me that I HAVE to specify which anchor tag’s HREF I want, but as all of my anchor tags in my custom control runs the same Javascript, I can’t specify one single HREF.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Answer 1

Do pass this as parameter into someFunction();.

function someFunction(anchor){
    alert(anchor.getAttribute('href'));
}
