Answer 1

            $(document).ready(function(){
              $("a,:button").click(function(){
               alert("Link or button clicked!");
              });
            });

Answer 2

I think "Babiker's" solution is better than "Bears will eat you" because it calls the event handler only when link of button is clicked whereas in the other case, it calls for all the click events on the page and checks if the element clicked was a link or button.

Babiker's solution is more optimized.

Note, this wont work for any elements added in future.

You might wanna try this.

$("a, button").live("click", function(){ ... });

"<script type=""text/javascript"" src=""http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js""></script>  

<script type=""text/javascript""> 
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('body').click(function() {
           // do something here
        //alert(""Link or button clicked!"");
        });
    });
</script>"
