The only real comment I have is that the $(...) stuff is superfluous,
and could easily be confused with Kid's ${}. You almost never need to
use $() unless you're directly screwing with the DOM. Everything that
takes DOM objects should take a string identifier, and connect is no
exception.
Also, "e.preventDefault()" is probably better said as "e.stop()".
Normally when you do preventDefault you also want stopPropagation, and
that's what stop does. Though it shouldn't make a difference in this
case.
