title: How can I intercept a link with jQuery when using a ajax call?
body: <p>I might be doing something stupid.  But if I have a normal link like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="changeMe"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;a href="/Not/Intercepted" id="interceptMe"&gt;A link&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I attach a jQuery click event to the link like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#interceptMe').click(function() {
    $('#changeMe').text('Changed');
    return false;
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything works peachy.  The page does <strong>not</strong> get redirected to /Not/Intercepted, which is what I would think would be correct.</p>
  
  <p>Now...</p>
  
  <p>I introduct a ajax call like $.get to my click event and now my page will be incorrectly redirected to the page, which essentially overwrites the ajax call.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#interceptMe').click(function() {
    $.get('/Ajax/Call', goesIn, function(comesOut) {
    $('#changeMe').html(comesOut);
      }, "html");
    return false;
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to make jQuery or javascript still intercept the link click so it does not go to the href page?  I want to keep the href for those users that aren't enabling javascript.  TIA!</p>
