Why is the onClick event triggered twice?

Question

I have the following html:

    test
&         


        

Answer 1

This thread will help answer the 'why' of it.

A better way would be to just assign a click handler to the element so as to keep your Javascript abstracted out of the HTML:

$('#test1').click(function() {
    alert('Boem')
});

Hope that helps.
