-----------------------------------
Summary: Ajax EventLinks should not cancel the click event
Key: TAP5-2431
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2431
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: tapestry-core
Affects Versions: 5.4
Reporter: Chris Poulsen
Priority: Minor
Currently the click handlers in zone.js return false to prevent browsers from
following the link. Sometimes this result in unexpected behavior in pages.
The use-case where we have been hit by this is ajax links in a bootstrap
dropdown:
When a link option is clicked the dropdown does not close again - This is due
to the click event being cancelled.
The fix that we use locally; is to use event.preventDefault() and let the click
event bubble.
I think this should be the default behavior of the framework - as it has much
smaller impact than swallowing the click event and makes the client side things
more flexible.
