jQuery event.stopPropagation is not working on <a>
- by HorusKol
I have the following javascript:
$('#ge-display').click(function (event) {
window.open('/googleearth/ge-display.php','','scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,height=650,width=1000,resizable=yes,toolbar=yes,location=no,status=no');
event.stopPropagation();
return false;
});
the element with id 'ge-display' is a standard link:
<a href="/googleearth/ge-display.php" id="ge-display" target="_blank">Load Google Earth Plugin (in a new window)</a>
The problem is - when I take out the 'return false;' line from the click event handler, the javascript popup opens, and then another browser window opens - I thought stopPropagation() would prevent the links own click handler?
I've also tried stopImmediatePropagation() - but I still need to return false to stop the default behaviour of the link.
