I am new to jquery
and i have a doubt whether using events.preventDefault()
in the mousedown
or mouseup
events does prevent the click
or dblclick
event?
Please provide me a clarification or a sample.
Thanks in advance. Madhu

Neither of mouseup
or mousedown
prevent the default click event.
Fiddle Demo
You need to use click()
:
$('.test').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
Fiddle Demo
It does not prevent the event itself, but the action that is triggered by the event.
A simple example would be clicking on an anchor link. The default action of the click event is to take the browser to a new URL. In this case, it won't happen.
