JQuery on Click event function call

I would like to call a function from the jQuery Click event. I tried the annotation below which doesn't work.

$(".menu_link").click(GetContentAndSlide());

What is the right annotation?

Strangely, .click didn't work for me.

What worked was 

$(".menu_link").on('click', GetContentAndSlide);

$(".menu_link").click(GetContentAndSlide);

remove the (), you are executing the function, instead of passing the function reference.

Another option would be (in case your function uses the this pointer) to wrap it around with a anonymous function:

$(".menu_link").click(function() {GetContentAndSlide()});
