Question

I’m having issues with event.preventDefault() in firefox, it is not working. This is the jquery code.

$("#facebook-del-1").click(function(){
event.preventDefault();
var selector = "#"+$(this).attr("id");
$(selector).closest('a.tag').remove();
});

It is working in Chrome, but not in firefox. You can check out here http://jsfiddle.net/qXPj8/2/

Could anyone guide me?

Thanks!

Pass the event argument to the handler function,

//                                   V-- Added event arg
$("#facebook-del-1").click(function(event) {
