Using JQuery from <a href="Javascript:xxxxxx" >click me</a>

[meverett]

<div class="example"> <span id="expspan" class="examplespan"></span>

$('#expspan').addClass('blue')

&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="Javascript:$('#expspan').toggleClass('blue');">Try It!</a> </div>

The jQuery code is carried out and then the page reloads with only [object Object] on it.

This link <a href="Javascript:turnItBlue()">Try It!</a> calling this function

function turnItBlue() {

$('#expspan').addClass('blue')

}

with exactly the same jQuery command works as perfectly as expected.

If you don't cancel the default action by returning false from the event handler, the browser will "follow" the link. If you need more help with this, ask on the forums.
