Question

I have a working example of this but I’m not sure why my implementation isn’t working. Can somebody please help? I’m missing something and I need another set of eyes to find it for me. 🙂

JSFiddle demo <– see code here.

I’m trying to reproduce the functionality used here. I seem to be a little confused about passing/accessing the event variable around.

Thanks!! 🙂

Bind to the Click event: example

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#checkbox1').click(function(event) {
        if (flag) {
            CancelEvent(event);
            return event.returnValue;
        }
        SomeOtherStuff('this method has real functionality too');
    });
});​

Change is a little to late in the event structure to cancel the action that already happened.
In addition, the return value was being omitted. So I added it to the event handler.
