How to trigger onClick before href

Question

I am trying to do some functionality in onClick() event and also doing the href for the same element. But actually happening is its not triggering onClick() completely and its moving to href link when we click that element.

How to make onClick() gets complete first and trigger href next.

<a href="" onclick="javascript:triggerMe()">click</a>

Answer 1

As I understood, you don't want to go on other page, so use return false, like this:

<a href="" onclick="javascript:triggerMe();return false;">click</a>
