Hi

When a user clicks the close button, I want to ask a confirmation and stop or resume the closing procedure based on the input. I've tried:

accordion.on("beforeItemRemove", function (e) {
var answer = confirm("Really destroy?");
if (!answer) {
e.target.preventDefault(); }
});

Without a luck. Any hint?

Thanks!

That is actually incorrect.

This code:
e.target.preventDefault();

throws exception, because e.target does not have preventDefault function.
That's why the execution stops.


Jong-won Choi, there is no way to prevent that in the current version.
I just added that feature and you will see it with the next CDN push.

Iliyan,

I posted another message after reading Alberto's (and missed yours)

Thanks for the help

Hi,
I am a bit confused. The forum mentions a correction but still it is unclear how one should implement this.
I am trying to do exactly the same thing:

I expected that returning false would be enough to stop the removal operation and failing that I tried event.preventDefault() which didn't work either.
In the end event.halt() does it for me.
Is it the recommended way?
Also is there a way to know what triggered the event in the first place? I am removing items by code which triggers this event and in this case I don't want to see the message of course. There are easy workarounds like storing a boolean somewhere but I was wondering if there is a nicer way to do it.
Thank you anyway so far I am doing great stuff with your accordion.
