event.preventDefault() function not working in IE

Question

Following is my JavaScript (mootools) code:

$(\'orderNowForm\').addEvent(\'submit\', function (event) {
    event.prev         


        

Answer 1

in IE, you can use

event.returnValue = false;

to achieve the same result.

And in order not to get an error, you can test for the existence of preventDefault:

if(event.preventDefault) event.preventDefault();

You can combine the two with:

event.preventDefault ? event.preventDefault() : (event.returnValue = false);
