I am trying to figure out how to block *all* activity on a page. When
the page loads, I do not want clicked links to be followed, keypresses
to be registered, etc. etc.
Here is what I have tried;
$().ready(function() {
var h = function() { return false; };
$().bind('keypress',h).bind('keydown',h).bind('mousedown',h).bind('click',h);
});
Which is virtually the same as blockUI, but I've included an additional
bind type (click) and modified the "intercept function" (h) to plain
return false.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to interrupt events. I've used *many*
combinations of this technique to no avail -- trying different
posistions, including event.preventDefault and event.stopPropagation,
etc. etc.. and have not been able to figure out a means to stop all
interactivity.
Even on a vanilla page containing only jquery, a link, and the above
code in <head>, clicking the link (<a href="...">link</a>) follows the
target.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
