using preventDefault in onclick doesn't work
javascript
Solution
Remove `function(e){`. When you put `function(e){}` there, that means creating a function but not running it.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/DerekL/RnngR/
Do it like this:
<a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="event.preventDefault();">Google Search</a>
Problem
Can anyone tell me why the code below doesn't seem to prevent the link from doing its thing? I know I can just use `onclick="return false"`, but it should work with preventDefault, right? I tried `onclick="function(e){this.preventDefault()}"` and `onclick="this.preventDefault()"`, but no love. ``` <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="function(e){e.preventDefault()}">Google Search</a> </body> </html> ```
