Jquery: is there a way to attach click event before/after before the regular click event of anchor tag

Question

What I'm trying to accomplish is: Clicking on anchor tag that has href like this "href = "#sample"" then the browser scrolls down to the tag that has this id and after that I want to execute the click function that i have been attached to the same anchor tag. What happens now is quite the opposite. First the click event executes then the anchor original ... Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Don't see a direct way there, but you can prevent the browser's default behavior (by returning false from your event handler) and manage the scrolling by yourself (take a look at this plugin).

Answer 2

$('...').click(function() {
    setTimeout(function() {
        // put real handler here
    }, 0);
});
