What e.preventDefault() method really does in jQuery?
The preventDefault() method stops the default action of a selected element from happening by a user. This method does not accept any parameter and works in two ways:
- It prevents a link from following the URL so that the browser can't go another page.
- It prevents a submit button from submitting a form.
Example
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

<p>Click the link and it wont work.</p>
</body>
</html>
