How to close modal when <a> inside <li> is clicked?

// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById("myModal");

// Get the button that opens the modal
var btn = document.getElementById("modalbtn");

// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];

// Get the li links that will change tabs
var link = document.getElementsByClassName("modallink");

// When the user clicks the button, open the modal 
btn.onclick = function() {
  modal.style.display = "block";
}

// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() {
  modal.style.display = "none";
}

// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
link.onclick = function() {
  modal.style.display = "none";
}

// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it
window.onclick = function(event) {
  if (event.target == modal) {
    modal.style.display = "none";
  }
}
