Ajax click track when opening in same tab

<a href="googl.com" class="my-link"></a>link

$('a.my-link').live('click', function() {
$.ajax({----------});
});

is there any change that link will open before the ajax callback is made ? thanks

hey guys have a quick question i am tracking link clicks with ajax. i have some html code like this

<a href="googl.com" class="my-link"></a>link

and some jquery code like this

$('a.my-link').live('click', function() {
$.ajax({----------});
});

is there any change that link will open before the ajax callback is made ? thanks

function click(e){
e.preventDefault();
currentLink = jQuery(this).attr('href');
ajax.call(callback)
}

function callback(){
//could be error
//could be success
//now open the URL(currentLink)
}

Anyway I think this would be bad practice (for all links) – pretty heavy for the server, no to mention that user would wait a couple of seconds before you get the ajax response.

thanks SakuraPixel exactly no one likes to wait just to open a link. so its not a practical idea. as i can see in my plugin right now ajax click tracking works fine without adding any complexity.
