JQuery :: Return False - On Links Only Working On First Click In IE
Jul 12, 2009
I've been trying to make my very ajaxy site more SEO friendly, lots of the returned actions from ajax can be retrieved as a full page, so it's just a matter of exposing the links. Up until now I've had 'span' tags which I have now changed to 'a href' so that the search engines will follow them. I've added the following code so that if the event should send an ajax request, it does that, or if it should go get the full page, it does that.
<code>
jQuery('a.mixContent').livequery('click',function(){
var vtid=jQuery(this)..parent('div.controller').parent('li').attr
('id');
alert(eventid);
if(eventid!=null){
clicked(getSelected, eventid);
} else {
[Code]...

I have the following code
Code:
$('a').live( 'click', doIt() ) ;
...
function doIt() { return false }
However, the 'return false' does nothing. If I click a link the event is not stopped and the page it points to is loaded!
So, what could I do, given the above code, to stop the click event ?
UPDATE: I inspected jQuery object and changed doIt to
Code:
function doIt() {
$.Event.preventDefault();
$.Event.stopPropogation() ;
}
Does not produce errors, but didn't stop the event, but I feel I'm getting closer

I am currently trying to get an action on the click of a link, and not make it follow the link, just carry everything out in jQuery. Now, if the AJAX request isn't there, it will work as supposed too, but with the AJAX request, it will follow the link, not taking any notice for the return false.

I have a page built with asp.net that includes some "imagebutton"s within a form. These render as input tags with the type set to image. I ahve the onclick attribute set to run a custom javascript function and return false.This has worked fine for the few months the code has been in place and then just recently (within the last few days) it has stopped working for a single network user. They click on the link and instead of the function executing (and the AJAX loading details into the page) the form submits. This makes me think that the "return false" simply isn't executing. The user says that they haven't changed any settings or anything that may cause this issue...
The browser being used throughout the company is IE8 under Windows XP. I have checked the version being used on their comptuer and it is 8.0.6001.18702, which is the same version as the one installed on my local machine which is working fine. Another user has logged into the computer being used by the user with the issues and it works fine for the second user.

Code:
The "View All Show Times" href should toggle a show/hide div. All of sudden, it's not working IE 6 (FireFox and IE 7 work fine). This never happened until today. Could an altered browser setting have caused this behavior as I didn't change the code? It looks like return false is not firing.

Links redirect in IE8. I simple want to links to run a function then not go anywhere.
My code
Code:
<a onclick="UpdateTable(9); return false;" href="google.com"> Resources</a>
This will work in Firefox, wont in IE8.Although I cannot reproduct it right now, at some point IE was also working if I had a confirm instead of a false... (weird eh?).
As for my "UpdateTable"
Code:
function UpdateTable(myID)
{
var aa = document.getElementById("displayTable");
[code]....
If I get rid of all the "innerHTML" it works (so I suppose if I create elements and append them it would work, but im hoping for a solution instead of taking that route).

I'm pretty new to js, but i've searched this issue and it seems simple but it's not making sense. I'm trying to make the link dead I have this within a div of my html
<a href="poop.html" id="home"><img src="images/Home_off.gif" width="84" height="40" id="home" alt="home" /></a>
and I have this in my .js file
document.getElementById("home").onclick = changeMov;
function changeMov() {
return false;
}
i tried variations like:
<a href="poop.html" id="home"><img src="images/Home_off.gif" onclick="return false"; width="84" height="40" id="home" alt="home" /></a>

I have an expandable menu (not an accordion), that needs to toggle div elements below it. If I put the click event on the h3 of the menu, it works fine but as soon as I put it on the link, it doesn't work.
JQUERY
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".expand").click(function(){
$(this).next("div").slideToggle("fast")

This works fine in Firefox, but Internet Explorer ignores the return false and just follows the link.

im trying to learn how jquery ajax function works by validating some form after submit is clicked.
[Code]....
the alert didnt pop until i added the registration_ok = false; right before, so im assuming it has something to do with the ajax functions's scope.... why does the ajax function not affect the registration_ok variable outside the function? and how should i solve this problem? any better way of doing it?

Do you have to use the onClick attrib to have
return false
work?
i.e. is it possible to do
<a href="javascript:somefunct();return false;">
and have the page not reload with 'false' or the browser not complain about
illegal use?

i am learning JS at school and it is going pretty well. One concept I seem to be having trouble with is Return False; I understand that it is used when working with boolean types, but I seem to see it in other places as well, apparently to stop a function from doing something. I was wondering if someone had a good reference that explains the difference uses of return false.

I have look through the forum and couldn't find the answer I was looking for, I am working my way through the simply javascript book and wanted to validate a form, if the form doesn't validate then keep the user on the same page and guide it with info, if it is OK then allow it to go onto another page, the javascrpt is on an external page and is called correctly, I have removed all the link info just so that it passes the spam filter. The return false does not seem to work, it will give me the alert box and then still move onto the jowebpage.

This is my first post here, but reading through the others I'm sure someone will be able to help me.I trying to build a client-side validator before running my validation in php. I have a <form onSubmit="function(login name, login password)"> type deal and in my function, I'm returning false if certain criteria aren't met.
the form's action runs it back to the current URL where I have a php validator activated if the post data is recognized. As of now, both are running, which tells me the form is being submit regardless of that return false.

This is a simple email form validation, with javascript. I first coded the basic 'have you filled in the field" stuff and that worked great, the error message poped up and the form would not submit until corrected.I then put together a email validation function using reg ex, and things went slightly awry. The reg ex works, so hat is cool, but after catching an invalid email address, it submits the form anyway.Following the logic, you can see that the form gets validate, then the email address is validated, then the form validation function returns true, which is probably why it is submitting with the bad email address.I never seen an example of this, but can you put a called function into an if statement? So it would go: validate the form, then if the email validation function returns true, go ahead and submit.Anyway, here is the code:
JS code:
function validateForm ()
{

I have a small search appliance on my site that uses the following HTML:
Code:
<form action="/search/search.aspx" method="post" onsubmit="siteSearch(this);">
<input name="q" id="searchbox" type="text" value="Search...">
<input type="hidden" id="search-url" value="/search/search.aspx">
<input type="submit" class="search" name="submit" id="search-submit" value="GO">
</form>
[Code]...
I am attempting to create a stop in the form action if someone leaves the input blank or with the predefined "Search" however, once the alert pops up and a user presses "OK" it still attempt to submit the form.

I want to implement:
<a href=123 onclick="javascript:return false">123</a>
in DOM,
I have:
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.setAttribute('href', 123);
link.setAttribute('onclick', 'function() { return false; }');
but it doesn't work. The reason I want a href and onclick = false is because I want to drag and drop the 123.

Why does IE6 ignores JavaScript's return false on a link and how to fix it? Firefox works perfect!
<a href="page1.html" onclick="return test(this)">Test</a>
JS:
function test(obj)
{
if(obj.href=='page1.html'){
doSomething();
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
