Does using event.preventDefault() in “mousedown” prevent “click” or “mouseup” event in jquery?

Question

I am new to jquery and i have a doubt whether using events.preventDefault() in the mousedown or mouseup events does preve

Answer 1

It does not prevent the event itself, but the action that is triggered by the event.

A simple example would be clicking on an anchor link. The default action of the click event is to take the browser to a new URL. In this case, it won't happen.
