[jQuery] Re: problems extracting links and redirecting to function

Ah, in that case you might want to use the .live() binding:

$( "#wiki_content a" ).live('click', function(event) {

  event.preventDefault();

  var link = $(this).text();

  searchDelay( link );  

});

thanks for the feedback, that is a much better solution, however
I don't seem to be getting hold of the <a> tags that im after, the
problem might be the fact that the div containing the tags is not yet
populated when the jquery function to get them runs... but im not sure

the div #wiki_content is populated using a AJAX call just before
the code im posting here, it contains a set of <p> tags with <a>
tags in them but pointing at the div itself will get hold of the
a tags right?

I think it would be a lot simpler to rely on jQuery's implicit  

iteration:

$( "#wiki_content a" ).click(function(event) {

   event.preventDefault();

   var link = $(this).text();

   searchDelay( link );

});

can anyone please see waht's wrong with this

I want to get all <a> tags in the div #wiki_content and get the text

from

it and send into a function called searchDelay... im not getting as

far as

jumping into the $.each loop so not sure waht's wrong

var links = $( "#wiki_content a" );

   $.each( links, function( event ){

           $(this).click(function( event ){

           event.preventDefault();

           var link = $(this).text();

           searchDelay( link );

           });

   });

many thanks
