Question

I’m trying to fire an alert when a user clicks on an anchor tag, but the alert is not being fired. The code I am trying is below.

http://jsfiddle.net/NLdTJ/

<a id="collapse"> Collapse</a>

$(function(){
  $('#collapse').click(function(){
      alert('here');
  });
});

Answer 1

Your code is ok, but you weren’t loading jQuery in your fiddle.

http://jsfiddle.net/NLdTJ/3/

$(function(){
  $('#collapse').click(function(){
      alert('here');
  });
});

P.S.:
I’ve attached your code again because SO didn’t let me post the answer with just a link to jsfiddle and no code 🙂
