Tracking of a button click in jquery

Question

Following is the html code for a button.I need to track this button click.

<div class="abc">
    <a class="btn" data-wap="{"linktype":"xyz"}" href="#content">
</div>

You will want to change your `.btn` HTML to: ``. The nested double quotes could cause potential issues. — , Apr 15 '13 at 05:24

$('a.btn').click(function(){
    //here
});

Note:

<a> isn't a button.
If you want to cancel the default behavior and the bubbling return false from the callback.
Fix the quotes in the data-wap.

You can just do:

$('.btn').click(function() {
    // Your code here
});

You also need to close the anchor tag using </a>. As suggested by @MichaelWright, you also need to adjust the quotes of your data-wap

Attach an event to click like this:

$('.btn').click(function () {
    // code here
});

Also your quotes are incorrect which could cause issues for you, use single quotes within the double quotes so it doesn't break them.

<a class="btn" data-wap="{'linktype':'xyz'}" href="#content">
