Question

I’m capturing all the clicks in my “a” elements with this:

$("a").click(function(e){....});

I want to know if it’s possible to discard some events depending on some variable.

For example..

If href="http://www.google.es" then alert("google.es")

else if href="http://www.google.com" then do not handle the event and let the browser do whatever it has to do.

I don’t know if I’ve explained it very well…

Answer 1

$("a").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    if (this.href == "http://www.google.es/") alert("google.es");
    else if (this.href == "http://www.google.com/") window.location = this.href;
});
