jQuery("a").click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); ...your code here... }); |
Quote from original post:
“e.preventDefault() will prevent the default event from occuring, e.stopPropagation() will prevent the event from bubbling up and return false will do both. Note that this behaviour differs from normal (non-jQuery) event handlers, in which, notably, return false does not stop the event from bubbling up.”
