Does jQuery .on("click") always run before href fires?

Question

``` $("a").on("click", function (e) { doSomething(); }); ... My Link ``` Will `doSomething()` always run before the "href", in every browser?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your handler will run always first. That's what allows you, for instance, to cancel default behavior (navigate to href url) if necessary

```
$("a").on("click", function (e) {
   e.preventDefault(); // --> if this handle didn't run first, this wouldn't work
   doSomething();
});
```
