jQuery: How do I use event.preventDefault() with custom events?

Question

How can I know in my triggering code that preventDefault has been called?

$(document).trigger(\'customEvent\', params);
if (/* ??? */)
    doDefault         


        

Answer 1

If you're asking how to find out whether or not the default has been prevented, use:

event.isDefaultPrevented()

This will return 'true' or 'false' based on whether or not preventDefault() was called.
