Question

I am having an asp.net sever control as below

<asp:HyperLink Visible='<%# (GetAnswer(Eval("AnsQID"))) != 1 %>' ID="HyperLink1"
  runat="server" NavigateUrl="#" ToolTip='Like this answer' 
  onclick="javascript:(likeThis(this))">Like

</asp:HyperLink>

I am handling this onclick event on the client side by passing to the function on the client side as shown. Here is the “likeThis” function on the client side

function likeThis(e) {
           e.preventDefault(); // how do I get the event arguments as e ?


           var controlBar = ($(e).parents('div[class="group"]').children('p[id="controlBar"]'));
       }

I want the click event to be preventing the default behavior. So can you advise me on how to do that . Thanks

How about something like that:
$("a.yourLinks").click(function() { return false; });
