What is the opposite of evt.preventDefault();

Question

As per commented by @Prescott, the opposite of:

evt.preventDefault();

Could be:

Essentially equating to 'do default', since we're no longer preventing it.

Otherwise I'm inclined to point you to the answers provided by another comments and answers:

How to unbind a listener that is calling event.preventDefault() (using jQuery)?

How to reenable event.preventDefault?

Note that the second one has been accepted with an example solution, given by redsquare (posted here for a direct solution in case this isn't closed as duplicate):

$('form').submit( function(ev) {
     ev.preventDefault();
     //later you decide you want to submit
     $(this).unbind('submit').submit()
});

function(evt) {evt.preventDefault();}

and its opposite

function(evt) {return true;}

cheers!

To process a command before continue a link from a click event in jQuery:

Eg: <a href="http://google.com/" class="myevent">Click me</a>

Prevent and follow through with jQuery:

$('a.myevent').click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    // Do my commands
    if( myEventThingFirst() )
    {
      // then redirect to original location
      window.location = this.href;
    }
    else
    {
      alert("Couldn't do my thing first");
    }
});

Or simply run window.location = this.href; after the preventDefault();

OK ! it works for the click event :

$("#submit").click(function(e){ 

   e.preventDefault();

  -> block the click of the sumbit ... do what you want

$("#submit").unbind('click').click(); // the html click submit work now !

});

event.preventDefault(); //or event.returnValue = false;

and its opposite(standard) :

event.returnValue = true;

I had to delay a form submission in jQuery in order to execute an asynchronous call. Here's the simplified code...

$("$theform").submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var $this = $(this);
    $.ajax('/path/to/script.php',
        {
        type: "POST",
        data: { value: $("#input_control").val() }
    }).done(function(response) {
        $this.unbind('submit').submit();
    });
});
