Which is better, preventDefault or return false? Both do the same job (as far as I'm concerned) but preventDefault seems to have a more meaningful name. Any ideas?
preventDefault for sure for me. Return false might do the trick, but preventDefault has more semantic meaning, it leaves a better breadcrumb trail for the next coder to come along and wonder "why are they returning false when the function worked?"
