Catch clicks on file links (as opposed to page links) in jquery?

Question

Hi all. I want to add an event to my users clicking on file links (as opposed to links to internal or external pages). Is there a simple way to just get file links with a jquery selector? Or, do you think it's better to put a class on my file links and just select on the basis of that class?

thanks, max

Answer 1

Use $ to get links having file extension:

$('a[href$=".pdf"]')

You can replace the .pdf with whatever file extension you want.
