Menu
Can anyone tell me why the code below doesn't seem to prevent the link from doing its thing? I know I can just use onclick="return false", but it should work with preventDefault, right? I tried onclick="function(e){this.preventDefault()}" and onclick="this.preventDefault()", but no love.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="function(e){e.preventDefault()}">Google Search</a>
</body>
</html>

Remove function(e){. When you put function(e){} there, that means creating a function but not running it.

Do it like this:
<a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="event.preventDefault();">Google Search</a>
