Add href to anchor tag on the n click

Question

<section>
        <a **id="download"**  oncontextmenu="return false" > <svg ...
          </svg></a>
</section>
<script type="text/javascript">

The Code Below is just to get first 2 clicks.

$("#download").click(function(){
  $("#download").attr("oncontextmenu", "false");
});

$("#download").click(function({
  $("#download").attr("oncontextmenu", "false");
});

Here is the finalfunction which adds HREF on the 3rd click.

$("#download").click(finalfunction({
$("#download").attr("href", "<%= downloadLink %>");
});

</script>

But this code isn't working. Help me please.

Answer 1

1. IDs need to be unique. Use a class.

2. Have ONE eventListener and count the clicks inside it

Try something like this

I added some debugging

 $(".download").on("click", e => { const anchor = e.currentTarget; let cnt = anchor.dataset.cnt; if (cnt === "2") { anchor.href = anchor.dataset.href; console.log("clicked 3 times") } else { cnt++; anchor.dataset.cnt = cnt; $(".count",anchor).html(`Click ${3-cnt} more time${3-cnt === 1? "": "s"}`) e.preventDefault() } })
