how can a click occur before the mouse button goes up? Note that if you click a button, then drag to ,say the desktop, and release the button, click() is not fired.
i don't think you can actually terminate/prevent a click() from a mousedown...
the reason confirm/alert help is that it prevents the mouseup on the element with the click() event, thus ensuring that the button is not actually clicked.
also ,
this test app shows this output:
Code:
EVT: mousedown
EVT: mouseup
EVT: click

Since the .live() method handles events once they have propagated to the top of the document, it is not possible to stop propagation of live events. Similarly, events handled by .delegate() will propagate to the elements to which they are delegated; event handlers bound on any elements below it in the DOM tree will already have been executed by the time the delegated event handler is called. These handlers, therefore, may prevent the delegated handler from triggering by calling event.stopPropagation() or returning false.
