Is PreventDefault Not Recognized By IE6?

Apr 20, 2006

In the following script:

function txKeyPressHandler(theEvent) {
var key = theEvent.which || theEvent.keyCode;

switch (key) {
case Event.KEY_RETURN:
txIMSendMsg();
var userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent;
if (userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 6.0') == -1) theEvent.preventDefault();
break;
}}

if I take out the if clause, forcing the preventDefault to get called even
for IE6 it causes a JS error (just in IE6).

Using PreventDefault()

Aug 30, 2005

he scenario is that I want to add on onclick handler to a link. When
the onclick handler fires, I want action A to take place, which will
be a request. I want to insure that action A completes before the
click to the link retrieves the page. To do that, I would like to
issue a preventDefault(), wait for action A to complete and then
direct the browser to the page specified in the link (e.g., set
location.href="clicked_link_ref").

I just cannot find any practical information that leads me to a way to
do this. I have googled and read the O'Reilly book on JS and the JS
cookbook, as well. I haven't been able to backtrack from their
examples to a solution to my own problem.

JQuery :: Getting Some Lag When Applying E.preventDefault();

Apr 22, 2011

$(".change_page").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
do_stuff();
});

I noticed when I click one of these links, there is an ever so slight lag on all browsers. Maybe less than half a second, but it'snoticeable.

Now, when I remove e.preventDefault() and use return false instead, everything runs a lot smoother.

JQuery :: PreventDefault() Fails In IE8?

Apr 7, 2010

jquery-1.4.2.min.js

I'm trying to use the Alt+keyCode in my web-app and want to prevent the event from bubbling up to the browser.

The following works fine in FF & Chrome, no event propagation, but fails in IE8:

$().ready(function() {
$('html').keydown(function(event) {
if (event.altKey) {
if (event.altKey && event.keyCode == 83) { // 'S'

Safari 1.3 Bug PreventDefault() For Click On A Link

Sep 4, 2006

The Yahoo! UI event library goes to extremely great lengths to solve
this problem. Their solution is very creative but uses browser
sniffing. In Safari 1.3 (and earlier?) the following example follows
the link when it should not. Does anyone know of any solutions without
browser sniffing?

<p><a id="one" href="http://www.yahoo.com">link cancelled with
e.preventDefault()</a(isn't cancelled in Safari 1.3, is cancelled in
Safari 2)</p>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
document.getElementById('one').addEventListener('c lick',
function(e){e.preventDefault();}, false);
</script>

Something like:

...//EXECUTE SOME TASKS
event.continueDefault() // LET THE EVENT CONTINUE. Of course, this line doesn't work.
});

JQuery :: Prevent Navigating Away With PreventDefault() Not Working?

Mar 24, 2011

I am checking if a form on a jQuery tab is changed, and if it has, the user should get a popup warning when they navigate away from the tab with the form or click any other link on the page for that matter. So I setup this code:

$('a').bind('click', function(event) {
if (formChanged == true) {
event.preventDefault()

[code]....

in the $(document).ready() function. I can see the code is executed, but the click on the link still comes through and the form is lost. I've tried .click() and .live('click') as well but that doesn't work either.

Jquery :: Dynamic Class Changes Not Recognized?

Jul 29, 2010

I'm using some jquery in a website I'm building. Here's what I'm trying to do on one of the pages: I've got a span with some text and a button in it. When the button is clicked, it fires up a jquery click function for its class that is supposed to insert a textbox into it and take the text and put it in the textbox. The class of the button is also changed from "editButton" to "finishButton" so that the other click function fires, which is going to call a webmethod to update whatever the user entered in the database.

But, the function for the editButton class gets executed when it's clicked the next time instead. I know that the class of the button has changed because the css styles for the finishButton class are in effect. I also tried removing the clicked button and creating a new one dynamically, but that one does nothing at all; it doesn't go to either click function. The stuff in the .finishButton function is only there just so I can test whether or not that function actually runs. Whether it works or not, it shouldn't matter... I'm using Firebug so if I put a break point in there, it should hit it either way, right? And this is in an aspx page if that matters at all.
