Question

So I have a list that looks like this:

<ul class="clearfix alignleft">
   <li id="cat-1"><a href="#All">All</a></li>
    <li id="cat-5"><a href="#Mobile">Mobile</a></li>
    <li id="cat-4"><a href="#Webdesign">Webdesign</a></li>
</ul>

So when the user clicks on mobile, I take the attribute href, and slice the '#' but after that when the user clicks on webdesign let’s say I need to create a string like .Mobile,.Webdesignand so on..so I have to add to the string…. when the user clicks on an anchor I add a class of .clicked

Doesn anyone if this is possibile?

Answer 1

Try like below,

Markup

<ul class="clearfix alignleft" id="trackClick"> <!-- added trackClick -->
   <li id="cat-1"><a href="#All">All</a></li>
    <li id="cat-5"><a href="#Mobile">Mobile</a></li>
    <li id="cat-4"><a href="#Webdesign">Webdesign</a></li>
</ul>

JS:

var tracker = [];
$('#trackClick').find('a').click( function () {
   tracker.push($(this).attr('href').replace('#', '.')); 
   //or tracker.push('.' + $(this).attr('href').substring(1));
});

console.log(tracker); // will print clicked href .Mobile,.Webdesign
