How to continue event propagation after cancelling?

Question

When a user clicks a certain link I would like to present them with a confirmation dialog. If they click \"Yes\" I would like to continue the original navigation. One catch:

We have a similar requirement in our project and this works for me. Tested in chrome and IE11.

$('a.my-link').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault(); 
  if (do_something === true) {
    e.stopPropogation();
    MyApp.confirm("Are you sure you want to navigate away?")
    .done(function() {
      do_something = false;
      // this allows user to navigate 
      $(e.target).click();
    })
  }

})
