jquery check href for string on click?

Question

i was wondering how I could check to see if my href contains a string within the click function? I've tried different ways and have looked at other similar questions, but I can't seem to get it working.. I've tried contains and also regexp.. Here's the code:

$.each($ul.find('a'),function(){
  $(this).click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    if (  ) { // this is where i've been trying check whether the href contains 'cid'...
      alert( 'your href contains cid' );
    } else {
      alert(' do nothing');
    };
  });
});

Use the indexOf method for it:

if($(this).attr('href').indexOf('cid') != -1)

You do not need .each() btw:

$ul.find('a').click(function(e) {
    //...
});
