Looking for something like jquery's event.preventDefault function

[Mandla Mbuli]

Hi

I am looking for a way to prevent a <input type="submit" value="Login"/> from submitting.

I know I can use <a>Login</a> or change the type of the input but I would prefer to use input 

with the type specified. 

In jquery I have used event.preventDefault and I noticed from ClojureScript up and Running that 

domina has this function (domina.events/prevent-default event) so I am hoping enfocus also has

it and I just have not been looking properly. 

faithfully

Domina's just delegates to the goog.events obj.  Enfocus give you direct access to the event object.  I believe this will do what you want.

(em/at js/document

  ["id-of-button"] (em/listen :click #(do 

                                                   (.preventDefault %)

...)))

Thank you very much Sir.

I also just noticed its in the documentation site: 

"The event object is of type goog.event.Event. Documentation for this object can be found here"

happily :-)
