How to unbind a listener that is calling event.preventDefault() (using jQuery)?
In my case:
$('#some_link').click(function(event){ event.preventDefault();});$('#some_link').unbind('click'); worked as the only method to restore the default action.
As seen over here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1673570/211514
Its fairly simple
Lets suppose you do something like
document.ontouchmove = function(e){ e.preventDefault(); }now to revert it to the original situation, do the below...
document.ontouchmove = function(e){ return true; }From this website.
It is not possible to restore a preventDefault() but what you can do is trick it :)
<div id="t1">Toggle</div><script type="javascript">$('#t1').click(function (e){ if($(this).hasClass('prevented')){ e.preventDefault(); $(this).removeClass('prevented'); }else{ $(this).addClass('prevented'); }});</script>If you want to go a step further you can even use the trigger button to trigger an event.
