I've utilized e.preventDefault() previously to stop a click event, but I'm struggling to understand why it's not functioning in this particular case. I've assigned all anchor tags in a column a classname, then obtained references to them using
document.queryselectorAll(.classname)(function(){
const userName = document.getElementById('FullName').value;
// route
$route = '';
if (CheckDeploy(window.location.origin)) {
$route = '/x/GetReviewerCheck/';
} else {
$route = '/servername/s/GetReviewerCheck/';
}
let ReviewButtons = document.querySelectorAll('.verifyReviewer'); // .verifyReviewer = className of all anchor tags in table column
for (var i = 0; i < ReviewButtons.length; i++) {
const ReviewButton = ReviewButtons[i];
ReviewButton.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
let newRow = ReviewButton.parentElement.parentElement;
let AuditorName = newRow.cells[2].innerText;
let ReviewType = newRow.cells[8].innerText;
let ReviewTypeID = 0;
if (ReviewType == 'Peer Review') {
ReviewTypeID = 3;
} else if (ReviewType == 'Team Leader Review') {
ReviewTypeID = 4;
}
else if (ReviewType == 'Supervisor Review') {
ReviewTypeID = 5;
}
let id = newRow.cells[0].firstChild.getAttribute('id').split('_')[1];
$.ajax({
url: $route,
type: 'POST',
data: { userName: userName, auditor: AuditorName, reviewType: ReviewTypeID, recordID: id },
success: function (data) {
// if data is 1, prevent default
if(data == 1){
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
}
});
}, false);
}
})();
