javascript - Click event does not fire default action -

So, I have this & lt; Ol & gt; with some events related to jQuery help (1.4.2). All is done in $ (document) .ready () -call

The strange thing is that & lt; Li & gt; Click Correnct & lt; A & gt; Generates a click on (I can see it by canceling console.log () -part) but it does not navigate to UA. Why is it like this? event.stopPropagation () call event.preventDefault () internal or what?

I know I can do window.location.href & lt; Li & gt; Click in the event = $ ('H3A', this) .eq (0) .attr ('href'); But I really want to know why it is not working with click-call.

Thanks with the advance companion!

Teh Codez:

HTML:

& lt; Ol class = "news" & gt; & Lt; Li & gt; & Lt; Img src = "http://dummyimage.com/325x325/000/fff.jpg" & gt; & Lt; Span class = "date" & gt; May 12 & lt; / Span & gt; & Lt; H3 & gt; & Lt; A href = "http://example.com/lorem-ipsum" & gt; Laurem Epsom & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; / H3 & gt; & Lt; P & gt; Noolam Rockas, Massa Enk Pointer Retrm, Maurice Mets Honor Lockes, Societies. Rhoncus purus or lectus & Lt; / P & gt; & Lt; / Li & gt; & Lt; Li & gt; & Lt; Span class = "date" & gt; May 3 & lt; / Span & gt; & Lt; H3 & gt; & Lt; A href = "http://example.com/lam-sum-idum" & gt; Lam amount ID & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; / H3 & gt; & Lt; P & gt; Maurice Wollepat Anem Hell Troupe Firtrators Cross Fossibus Metis Dignissim. & Lt; / P & gt; & Lt; / Li & gt; & Lt ;! - Here are many more details ... - & gt; & Lt; / Ol & gt;

(And yes, HTML 4.01 is valid.)

Javascript:

  $ ('.news li') .click (Function () {$ ('h3 a', this) .eq (0) .click ();}) hover (function () {$ (this) .toggleClass ('hover');}) ('H3A') (function (e) {e.stopPropagation (); // stop recursion; //console.log (this);});  

This is normal, a click is manually Firing anchors follow the not link, firing the "default event" is often not the case when the action was followed location.href to go here The way is:

  $ ('. Click (function () {window.location .href = $ (this) .find ('h3aa'). Attr ('href');}). Hover (function () {$ (this) .toggleClass ('hover');}). ('H3 a'). Click (function (e) {e.stopPropagation (); // therefore works on ctrl + click link, etc});  

On the one hand, there is no need for .eq (0) , .attr ('href') Href from the first element in the matched set.
