Prevent submit button with onclick event from submitting

Question

I want to prevent a submit button with onclick event from submitting:

$j(\'form#userForm .button\').click(function(e) {
    if ($j(\"#zip_field\").val() >         


        

Answer 1

Basically, if you change your button type from type="submit" to type="button", such button won't submit form, and no workarounds are needed.

Hope this helps.
