This tests blocking a link '<a>' on a page. The link below looks normal, but if you click on it, an alert appears and you do not go anywhere.
Code is:
<p><a class="content_href" href="//jquery.com/">jQuery</a></p> <script src="/scripts/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("a.content_href").click(function(event){ alert("As you can see, the link no longer took you to jquery.com"); event.preventDefault(); }); $("a.content_href").addClass("test"); $("a.content_href").click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); $(this).hide("slow"); }); }); </script>
