    copied!<p>I have a site where I need to check all href-links if they are in a custom dictionary on the site. If they exist then the title attribute in the a-tag should be set to the text that is fetched from the server. I put this together based on other wuestions from this site (example, not tested): </p> <pre><code>// How to only activate "a href" links? jQuery('a').mouseover(function() { // should be what is between &lt;a href=""&gt;this text&lt;/a&gt;. Is this correct? var dictionaryWord = jQuery(this).text(); // do a server site call to get description for the word given in the var above jQuery.get("/getDescriptionFromDictionaryWord.aspx", { word: dictionaryWord }, function(data){ // set title tag for the a-tag actual a-tag // will "this" refer to the a-tag with mouseover? jQuery(this).attr("title", data); }); }); </code></pre> <p>There may be errors in the above. I have just created it from different answers found in this here on StackOverflow. Is there a better way to do get a response from a server than the above?</p> <p>If it works I only need a nice way to show the title tag on mouseover. I have seen some packages for that so that should be easy enough.</p> <p>BR. Anders</p> <p>UPDATE (based on answers below)</p> <pre><code>// all "a href" do this for the first mouseover "one.()" jQuery('a[href]').one('mouseover',(function() { // get a reference to the clicked + get dictionary word var anchor = jQuery(this), dictionaryWord = anchor.text(); // do a server site call to get description for the word given in the var above jQuery.get("/getDescriptionFromDictionaryWord.aspx", { word: dictionaryWord }, function(data){ // set title tag for the a-tag actual a-tag // will "this" refer to the a-tag with mouseover? anchor.attr("title", data); }); })); </code></pre>
