Probably something simple so sorry!

Currently, I have <button id="pin">Get pin</button> and it works. (there is a script later on that this calls).

But, I want it to work on some text - preferable an <a href> as the styles are set up on this - so something like <a href="pin">Get pin</a> - obviously this would not work so would like to know how to get it to work! :)

I am trying to get it to run the below when clicking it: 

<script>
    $("#pin").click(function() {
        swal("Your support pin", "Your support pin is: {$support_pin}", "info")
    });
</script>

Thanks

  • You can set up a click handler on a link as well, not just on a button. – Bergi Jan 07 '20 at 20:57
  • It will work just fine -- though you'll need to prevent the default click handler with `e.preventDefault()`, `return false`, or similar. – Obsidian Age Jan 07 '20 at 20:57

  • Someone blocked this question. So I have to comment answer. Get pin In your script will be like this; $("#pin").click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); swal("Your support pin", "Your support pin is: {$support_pin}", "info") }) – glinda93 Jan 07 '20 at 21:01
  • @bravemaster - not working either. I have put this: `
  • Get pin
    • ` `` – Tom Wilson Jan 07 '20 at 21:04
