a href click or onclick 2 actions (two functions or more)

I have a href tag that goes like this :

href="download.php?file={$sp->attachment_1}&flag=ds&r_id={$userid}&scpl_id={$sp->sp_id};"

that works and downloads the intended file. the issue is I want it to also call a javascript function. so when someone click it downloads the pdf file AND calls a javascript function but I can't get it to work, I tried using onClick but then it won't download if I put the link there.any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you

Did you tried returning True from the function,

onclick="return doAction()"

script,

function doAction(){
 // do something
 return true
}

If you're using jQuery you can just do this:

$("#IDOFYOURLINK").click(function() { 
     yourJavascriptFunction();
});

As soon as it redirects to the other page (download.php) you cannot run any javascript on this page.

If you want to do the javascript before, it is possible to say:

onclick='do_someting(); window.location="download.php?file=..."'
