Execute function before anchor tag and load it after

How can i execute a function before I click on anchor tag <a href="/foo" id="foo">Foo</a> and after click on it ?

I try this :

$(document).on('click', '#foo', function(e) {
      // stuff to do
      return false;
}

The function is executed but the link /foo is not loading like the default behavior.

Well, I don't understand why people shout at you, being clearer, your question can be answered this way:

$(document).on('click', '#foo', function(e) {
  // stuff to do
  alert("Hello");
  // finally follow the link
  location.href = $(this).attr("href");
  // Or may be giving `return true;` could work?
  return false;
}
