Question

this is the code I have:

    $('a').on('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    });

but this stops every link from working, I need it to be specific to the link that have a class of the name : “prevent”

for example : <a class="prevent" href="#link"> </a><a href="#link1"> </a>
in this case I want #link1 to work normally and #link will trigger e.preventDefault();

any ideas please? thank you

Answer 1

 $('a.prevent').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
