onclick - JQuery capturing click event on nested a tag in li -

i'm having problem capturing jquery onclick event on nested tag within ul

<ul class="paginate"> <li>>1</li> <li> <a href="http://www.xxx.co.uk/xxx/" onclick="ajaxpage('2',true,'left'); homecoming false;">2</a>

i've tried number of ways capture if user clicks on tag, nil seems work;

$('.paginate li').click(function(){ alert('caught page'); }); $('ul.paginate li').click(function(){ alert('caught page'); }); $('.paginate li a').click(function(){ alert('caught page'); });

can help?

$(document).ready(function() { $('ul.paginate li').click(function(e) { alert('caught page'); }); }
