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

I believe there is an easier way:

$j('form#userForm .button').click(function(event) { // <- goes here !
    if ( parseInt($j("#zip_field").val(), 10) > 1000){
        event.stopPropagation();
    }   
});
