JQuery :: 'return False' In Callback Of Click Event Not Working?

Jan 8, 2010

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

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]...

AJAX :: JQuery On Link Click - Not Following Return False

Aug 1, 2009

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.

Return False Is Not Working

Jan 22, 2010

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.

Return False Not Working In IE

Mar 29, 2007

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.

Return False Not Working In IE8?

Feb 3, 2010

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).

Return False To Link Not Working?

Apr 14, 2010

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>

Why Return False Stop Event Handlers To Run On Nested Elements

Oct 23, 2009

I have nested markup like this
Code HTML4Strict:
<li><span></span></li>
I have different click functions, one attached to the li and the other to the span.

When I click on the span they both run. Ending the span's event handler with return false; prevented that from happening, which is what I want. But I'm not sure I understand why it worked.. I know, for example, if I was clicking on an anchor, return false would stop the browsers default action of following the href value. Same for submitting a form, return false will stop this. I don't think I understand why this would stop a completely different function from being triggered..

JQuery :: Using Return In Callback Function

Sep 30, 2010

I have some problem using the $.post function. I wrote a function that test if a username is already used in my database. That function must return true if the username is free and false in the other case. My problem is that I use the $.post function and I put the return true; and return false; in the callback function. So it's the callback function that returns true/false instead of my function !

Here is my code :
function validateName(){
$.post("ajax_is_name_used.php",
{name: $form_name.val()}, function(data) {
if (data.success == 1) {
$form_name.addClass("error");
return false; // Problem, we are in the callback function !
} else {
return true; // Problem, we are in the callback function !
}}, "json");}

Using Return False From <a>

Oct 13, 2005

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?

Explanation Of 'return False'?

May 27, 2011

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.

Cannot Get Return False To Work

Jan 13, 2009

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.

JQuery :: Click Event Not Working In Ie 7 And 8?

Aug 23, 2011

I know that it should work in those browsers, so hopefully someone can tell me where I'm going wrong.I created a function....it does not sit inside the document.ready function, so maybe that is part of the issue. I am not sure how to accomplish this another way. Wasn't sure how to pass an argument to the function using an anonymous function in document.ready. The idea is to have a side navigation panel that shows/hides divs on the page. I am creating a website for my upcoming wedding and want to do it all on one page and just fade in the divs. If I click on 'ceremony' for example, I want it to hide any open divs, then show the ceremony div. For the divs I always want on the page, I gave a class of 'static.' That is the reason for the 'not' condition in the code. I hope I have explained clearly enough. Here is the code,Btw, this does work in firefox6 and ie9 without issue.Here is the javascript:

function showDiv(showThis){
$(this).click(function() {
$('#containers > div:not(.static)').css('display','none');

Return False On A Form Submit?

Jul 18, 2009

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.

Form Submits Despite Return False?

Jul 29, 2011

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 ()
{

Form Submission And Return False?

Jan 20, 2009

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.
