Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead. Why I'm getting this error and what's the solution for it?

Question

Previously I was using jQuery 1.7.1 in my code. I was getting the above error. Then I used the jQuery 1.11.1 straight from the google repository

Answer 1

Try:

event.originalEvent.defaultPrevented

As in:

$(document).on('click', function (e) {
    if (e.originalEvent.defaultPrevented) return;
    // continue
});
