prevent bootstrap collapse from collapsing

Question

a have a bootstrap collapse with a button inside the header. On the button is clickEvent
I want to prevent the collapseEvent when clicking the button. Does anyone have a tipp?

This does not help here

$('#buttonId').live("click", function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();   
    // some action ...
});

Is there a way to prevent the default collapse action?
Thx

I think you are looking for stopPropagation() method instead:

$('#buttonId').live("click", function (e) {
    e.stopPropagation();   
    // some action ...
});

If your button is a link (<a> tag ), you should prevent default too or use return false;

BTW, live is deprecated, you should use .on() delegation syntax instead, e.g:

$(document).on('click', '#buttonId', function(e){
    e.stopPropagation(); 
    // some action ...
});
