[maminx]

i want to detect Link in a Tab is activated or clicked from my code. here the situation


I have tabs that have link to web pages like example below :

<ul id="tabs">
<li><a href="http://www.asdf.com"/><span>asdf</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.dddd.com"><span>dddd</span></a></li>

And to detect that link is activated, i make this code below :

<script type='text/javascript'>
$('a').click(function(){
    alert('activated');
});
</script>

but it's show an error : $ is not defined

any idea??

Hi Maminx,
This error is due to that you have used '$' which is a element in prototyope framework. It gives the object reference. Wether have you included the prototype framework in your code? Eventhough there is no id --> 'a' in your html code. $ is just a replacement for document.getEle mentById();

Thanks and Regards
