add onclick programmatically failed using jquery

Question

$('#target a').attr("onClick=", link);

for some reason I have to do this one, but it says Failed to execute 'setAttribute' on 'Element': 'onclick=' is not a valid attribute name.

$('#target a').attr("onClick", link);

This is what you're looking for.

Though you could use:

$('#target a').on('click', link);

Please note that link should be a function and not just a url.

You don't need attribute editing. You just need to set 'click' event handler.

$('#target a').click(link);

where link is a handling function.
