Description

I am wrapping up asp.net web site in a browser control on windows phone 7 to give native app feel. But the problem is JQuery events are not working in browser control whereas the same is working fine in IE browser of the mobile.

To explain the issue -

Lets say I have a web page called 'index.html'. and this page contains a hyperlink tag

<a href="#">Test Link </a>

Now I am using JQuery to overwrite this hyperlink click event. Below is the code

$("a")

.click(function (event) {

event.preventDefault(); prevents link to be redirected

document.location.href = "http:www.yahoo.com";

return -1;

});

In Windows Phone 7 browser control when I click on the link nothing is happening. But the same code is working fine in IE browser of the mobile. I turned option IsScriptEnabled to true for the browser control but still its doesnt work. Is there any way that I can fix this?

We have no immediate resources to test this, but my first thought is that something about your handler is broken. First, what is the significance of returning -1? Perhaps you meant to return false? -1 does not equal false.

Can you run this: http://jsfiddle.net/rwaldron/as2Gc/show/ in your browser control and report back the result?

Is there a reason why you return -1 from the event handler? It's rather unusual.
