Just take the title attribute from the item clicked $(this)
using .attr('title')
and place the text in the div using .html()
or .text()
:
$('a.myClass').click(function(){
$('#firstDiv').html($(this).attr('title'));
});
The only reason to use e.preventDefauilt()
is if the page can scroll down, as a #
bookmark link will spring to the top:
$('a.myClass').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('#firstDiv').html($(this).attr('title'));
});
