jquery/ajax loading href onClick for multiple links

Question

Building a menu inside of ionic 4 progressive web application and I am using ajax /jquery to load pages into a div . Is there any way to tell the jquery / to load the href src= of the clicked element with the specific class. instead of adding this same code 20 times to load each different page

$('.classofButton').click ( function () {
     $('#content').load ('href of clicked object or link etc') ; 
} );

Answer 1

You can get the href by using this

$('.classofButton').click ( function () {
     $('#content').load ($(this).attr('href')) ; 
} );

Answer 2

You can do it like this.

 $('.classofButton').click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var href = $(this).attr('href'); $('#content').load(href) ; });

 #content { width: 200px; height: 200px; }
