add click event to multiple link items

this allows you to get every a element in a-div class and stop the link from loading, so you can do other things with it like run a function or something else

Functions used:

Javascript

Wait for the document to be ready before running this.

$(document).ready(function(){ });

Javascript

Attach a click event to all a elements inside the div with the class name a-div

$('.a-div a').click( function(event){ });

Javascript

Stop the links from loading the href url

event.preventDefault();

Javascript

Show a browser prompt with the href value of the link

alert('you clicked ' + this);
