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:

Answer 1

If I am understanding the problem correctly, I think you can just update the event to be the original event in that closure you have there. So just set e = e.originalEvent in the .done function.

MyApp.confirm("confirmation?")
.done(function(){ e = e.originalEvent;})

here is a fiddle with a different example (keep the console open so you can see the messages): this worked for me in chrome and firefox

Answer 2

Below are the bits from the code that actually worked in Chrome 13, to my surprise.

function handler (evt ) {
    var t = evt.target;
    ...
    setTimeout( function() {
        t.dispatchEvent( evt )
    }, 1000);
    return false;
}

This is not very cross-browser, and maybe will be fixed in future, because it feels like security risk, imho.

And i don't know what happens, if you cancel event propagation.
