Location Location e.preventDefault ()

Question

I use preventDefault() in my jquery functions to prevent submit buttons from being sent in the usual way. There is a value of preventDefault() . Should it be the first or maybe the last in a function?

Answer 1

No, it doesn’t matter: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/preventDefault

This is different from returning false , because when you return, everything else in the function is abandoned.

As stated in the MDC link above:

Calling preventDefault during any stage of the event flow cancels the event, which means that any default action normally taken by the implementation as a result of the event will not occur.

Answer 2

It doesn’t matter, but I would like to express it first. The alleged behavior is clearly visible when you quickly look at the code when it is at the top.
