event.preventDefault() not working with jQuery

[kimasendorf]

I am using Backbone router which makes it neccesary to preventDefault on hyperlinks. When I change 'tap' to 'click' it works like expected.

$(document).on('tap', 'a.bb', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    console.log('CLICK');
    var href = $(this).attr('href');
    Backbone.history.navigate(href, true);
});

You can use e.originalEvent.preventDefault() I guess

Nope, I tried that..

i am closing this issue because there is no default behavior for tocca events so prevent default doesn't make really sense
