I see this (stopping links in their tracks) a lot and it's puzzling,
so i think:
*if you do not want an <a> to actually follow a link, then don't use
an <a>, use a <span> or something instead and use CSS to make it look
like a link to the user*
That will 100% solve all issues with a hyperlink acting like, well, a
hyperlink :-)
Problem with:
return false;
or
e.preventDefault()
is that if a JavaScript error happened before that, then either of
those lines will never execute to prevent the browser from going
wherever
