Link related to image click event in jQuery

I need a click event for jQuery so that when someone clicks on an image on my site, it fires a click event and then sends them to the target link from the "a" tag. How would I do that? I assume the click event will be on the link? Probably no? Here is the link and image

<a href="go/to/here" class="link_for_image">
   <img alt="Image!" class="dynamic" width="200" height="200" src="image/path/here">
</a>

EDIT

I need to do Javascript before sending the user a link. Sorry for the confusion.

You do not need to do this. Since the tour image is wrapped inside the anchor tag, when you click on the image, it will be considered a click on the anchor tag.

. javascript , .

$(function(){
 $(".link_for_image").click(function(e){
   e.preventDefault();
   var item=$(this);
   //Here you can do what you want on the clik

   window.location.href=item.attr("href");
 });    
});
