Question

I have a simple ink using the </a> tag. which is below:

<a href="create_session.php">

What my question is can I modify the link in order to be able to access a jquery/ajax function which is below:

function removesession()
{       
     $.ajax({
         url: "insertmarks.php",
         async: false,
         type: "POST"
     });    
}

Btw is the ajax correct to simply just navigate to a page?

Answer 1

Absolutely!

Give the link an ‘id’ attribute (makes it easier to select)

<a href="create_session.php" id="createLink"></a>

$(function() {
    var link = $("#createLink");

    link.click(function() {
        $.ajax({
           url: "insertmarks.php",
           async: false,
           type: "POST",
           success: function() {
                window.location.href = link.attr("href");
           }
         });

         //cancels the links true action of navigation
         return false;
    });
);
