I am playing with YUI and spry and have a fun task of having content from
other pages load into a tab system in spry. All is working well so far.
Next I have event listener code to check for the click of any link in that
tab content area (which is a separate file). Those links are just normal
links with no onclick or anything. If you click on it load that linked
pages data into the tab. That also works.
What I am stuck on now is how to get the page to then stop going to the new
page. In other words if the link goes to 'aboutus.cfm' I can get the
content of aboutus.cfm to load into the tab content area, but the page then
reloads fully to go to the aboutus.cfm page.
Basically clicking on a link will trigger the function below which needs to
stop the default behavior of opening a new page.
I use return false; in my function, but that only cancel's things in IE7 and
not firefox. I also tried return(false); with same result.
Relevant JS is:
function clickHandler(e) {
var elTarget = YAHOO.util.Event.getTarget(e); // sets the var with the
href of the new page
Spry.Utils.updateContent('apDiv1',elTarget); // updates my div with new
content
return(false); // try to stop browser from opening new page
}
YAHOO.example.init = function() {
YAHOO.util.Event.on(YAHOO.util.Dom.getElementsByClassName('joshua',
'div')[0], "click", clickHandler);
}
