event.preventDefault() function not working in IE

Question

Following is my JavaScript (mootools) code:

$(\'orderNowForm\').addEvent(\'submit\', function (event) {
    event.prev         


        

Answer 1

Mootools redefines preventDefault in Event objects. So your code should work fine on every browser. If it doesn't, then there's a problem with ie8 support in mootools.

Did you test your code on ie6 and/or ie7?

The doc says

Every event added with addEvent gets the mootools method automatically, without the need to manually instance it.

but in case it doesn't, you might want to try

new Event(event).preventDefault();
