Prevent default event action

 / Published in: jQuery
 

URL: http://api.jquery.com/event.preventDefault/

Description: If this method is called, the default action of the event will not be triggered.

For example, clicked anchors will not take the browser to a new URL. We can use event.isDefaultPrevented() to determine if this method has been called by an event handler that was triggered by this event.

  3.   //CODE
