How to call jQuery function onclick?

Question

I am using this code to get the current url of the page in to div, when I click on submit button. I am not getting how to call function onclick. How to do this?

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title>localhost</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function () {
                var url = $(location).attr('href');
                $('#spn_url').html('<strong>' + url + '</strong>');
            });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
            <div id="spn_url"></div>
            <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

I prefer `.on('click', function() { ... })` But maybe I'm being too picky — Sourabh, Jun 07 '13 at 05:41

var url = $(location).attr('href');
$('#spn_url').html('<strong>' + url + '</strong>');
});

**+1** `$(location).attr('href');` could be `location.href`, no need to pass to jQuery :) – Jun 07 '13 at 05:42

Try this:

HTML:

<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" onclick="myfunction()">

jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
 function myfunction() 
 {
    var url = $(location).attr('href');
    $('#spn_url').html('<strong>' + url + '</strong>');
 }
</script>

try this:

$('form').submit(function(){
    // this function will be raised when submit button is clicked.
    // perform submit operations here
});
