$("a").on("click", function (e) { doSomething(); }); ... <a href="http://website.com">My Link</a> Will doSomething() always run before the "href", in every browser?

So onclick creates an attribute within the binded HTML tag, using a string which is linked to a function. Whereas . click binds the function itself to the property element.
Answer: Use the jQuery click() Method You can use the click() method to trigger a click on a link programmatically using jQuery.
This happens because somewhere in your code, you're rebinding the event handler without first unbinding it.
Trigger Click Event in JavaScript Using click() An element receives the click event when pressed, and a key is released on the pointing device (eg, the left mouse button) while the pointer is within the element. click() is triggered after the down and up mouse events are triggered in that order.
Yes, your handler will run always first. That's what allows you, for instance, to cancel default behavior (navigate to href url) if necessary
$("a").on("click", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); // --> if this handle didn't run first, this wouldn't work doSomething(); }); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
