Using jQuery: with the following code I'd like to prevent the href url (in this case a hash '#') being fired on click, but still allow the click event to continue bubbling up the chain. How can this be achieved please?
<div>
<a href="#">Test</a>
</div>
$('a').click(function(e){
// stop a.click firing but allow click event to continue bubbling?
});
$('a').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// stop a.click firing but allow click event to continue bubbling?
});
e.preventDefault()
won't prevent bubbling, e.stopPropagation()
or return false
(stop both) will.
You could do:
$('a').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// stop a.click firing but allow click event to continue bubbling?
});
fiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/tU53v/
try this..
$('a').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// stop a.click firing but allow click event to continue bubbling?
});
here you can find difference between return false
and e.preventDefault();
