jQuery event.preventDefault() not working in Firefox (JSFiddle included)

Question

This is a kind of similar duplicate to some others here, but I think I\'m using event.preventDefault() correctly in this case.

Here\'s a JSFiddle you ca

Answer 1

Ah I've had a similar problem in that past. Rather than event.preventDefault() try passing the event to:

    function ie8SafePreventEvent(e){
    if(e.preventDefault){ e.preventDefault()}
    else{e.stop()};

    e.returnValue = false;
    e.stopPropagation();        
}

I know it says IE, but I've never had a problem with it since =]
