Below is my javascript file code. Script.js
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#").click(function(){
alert("Hello!");
});
And here is my php code.
<html>
<head>
Some codes are here
</head>
<body>
Some php codes are here to get value from database
<script src="script.js"></script>
<span><a href="#" class="vote" id="<?php echo $cid; ?>" name="up"><i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i></a> <?php echo $up; ?> </span>
<span><a href="#" class="vote" id="<?php echo $cid; ?>" name="down"><i class="fa fa-thumbs-down"></i></a> <?php echo $down; ?> </span>
<span><a href="#" class="vote" id="<?php echo $cid; ?>" name="favorite"><i class="fa fa-star-o"></i></a> <?php echo $fav; ?> </span>
</body>
</html>
I am calling script file in body due to my design. I can't call it in head section.
Issue is when i click on above link corresponding to # (up,down, fav). It take me to index file. I am testing Hello in alert box. But it is not working.
Any advice what i am missing.

$("#").click(to$("a").click(. Just # is not a selector. – Shaunak D Commented May 24, 2015 at 2:58

Reset to default 7$("#") isn't a valid selector. If you want to capture clicks on anchors it should be $('a');
The # in $("#") means and id should follow. Like if your element's id were "myElement" you would write $("#myElement").
But, since you dont know your ids adead of time, id use the vote class you already have instead like $(".vote").click....
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".vote").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
alert("Hello! My id is: " + this.id);
});
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span><a href="#" class="vote" id="someId1" name="up"><i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i>Some sontent</a></span>
<span><a href="#" class="vote" id="someId2" name="down"><i class="fa fa-thumbs-down"></i>Some sontent</a> </span>
<span><a href="#" class="vote" id="someId3" name="favorite"><i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>Some sontent </a> </span>In order to get all the anchor tags you should use $("a") instead of $("#"). Use $("#abc") in order to get a tag with id abc. Use $(".def") in order to get tags with class def.
Use attr name at the selector and call directly the function you want... $('a') is so generic
try to use
$("a[name='up']").on('click',function(){
alert("Clicked up!");
});
$("a[name='down']").on('click',function(){
alert("Clicked down!");
});
$("a[name='favorite']").on('click',function(){
alert("Clicked down!");
});
