Multiple Functions for Single Event in JQuery

I have one function for one element:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="dothis()">Link</a>

When this function is done, how can I run another function after this one?

For example, if this function returns true, then the script will run another function and if not, it will not run the second function.

Or have the second function run without regard to the result of the first function.

Any help appreciated :)

In the onclick attribute, you can use normal javascript, socalled inline javascript. So you could do (disencouraged):

<a onclick="if(dothis()) dothat()" />

You could do (recommended):

<a onclick="dothisandthat()" />

<script>
    function dothisandthat() {
        if (dothis())
            dothat();
</script>

The most concise way:

doThis() && doThat();

jQuery:

$('#el').click(function() {
    doThis() && doThat();
});

HTML:

<a href="javascript://" onclick="doThis() && doThat();">Link</a>

You can simply call another function from dothis()

 function dothis(){

  // Do something

    if(val == true)
    {
     // Call another function
      anotherFunction();
    }

 }

You can just call that another function at the end of dothis function like this

function dothis(){

  if(someThing == true)
    someFunc();
}

call the other function at end of dothis

If you want to use dothis with other elements. simply use a callback function.

function dothis(callback) {

 // code

 callback();

}

then use it like this:

dothis(dothisafter);
