event.preventDefault() function not working in IE

Question

Following is my JavaScript (mootools) code:

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


        

Answer 1

I was helped by a method with a function check. This method works in IE8

if(typeof e.preventDefault == 'function'){
  e.preventDefault();
} else {
  e.returnValue = false;
}
