How to change href attribute of a link using Jquery [duplicate]

Answer 1

That will certainly work, however I'd like to propose an alternative.

HTML

Toggle

jQuery/JavaScript

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('a.toggle').click(function (eventObject){
    var target = $(eventObject.target);

    // will add or remove the class automatically
    target.toggleClass('toggle_on');

    if(target.hasClass('toggle_on')){
      /* toggle on code here */
      alert('Toggle On');
    }
    else{
      /* toggle off code here */
      alert('Toggle Off');
    }
  });
});

This gets you out of having to use the href attribute for the toggles and lets you control things through styling and whatnot. Though my experience with jQuery is not all that extensive something like this seems a bit more conventional.
