[jQuery] Wiring using jQuery vs. a static string in onClick

[jQuery] Wiring using jQuery vs. a static string in onClick


I am setting an onClick for many rows doing this:
<a href="javascript:copy_value_popup({'position': 'RN', 'location' :
'Location A', 'shift' : '1st Shift (7a-3p)'},
'loc_41_sht_59_stt_69');">copy</a>
I could set this information as attributes in other parts of the table
structure to get what I needed to make a way to wire these up via
jQuery. I could have hundreds of these links to wire up. I know that
my current way will produce more html that the page will have to
download and process, but is there likely to be any noticeable
performance difference between doing a static link like this vs.
jQuery setup in $(document).ready when it comes to page loading or
general JS page performance?
