title: Send AJAX on click, but still go to URL of href
body: <p>I am attempting the following:</p>
  
  <p>When a user clicks a link, I want to update a specific column of a specific table in the database via ajax.  BUT I still want the user to be redirected to the <code>href="&lt;url&gt;"</code> of the link.</p>
  
  <p>I tried jQuery without <code>return false;</code> but then the ajax doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>I tried with <code>return false;</code> but then the page obviously doesn't redirect to the url as I wanted.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>
