title: Opposite of PreventDefault for links and drop-down selector?
body: <p>I have a jquery click event for a bunch of links and one drop-down selector in my MVC view and I preventDefault on them before doing the event, because most of them redirect to a view (the redirect stops my jquery code doesn't it?). After all of my callbacks in my click event, I would like the links and drop-down selector to do their default event so it doesn't just sit on the page like nothing has happened.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to get all of the links/drop-down to return to default and then programatically click them in jquery? I've tried <code>$(this).click()</code> and <code>$(this).submit()</code> and <code>e.click()</code> and <code>e.submit()</code> with no luck.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code</p>
  
  <pre><code> $("input,a,select").not("#SubmitButton").click(function (e) {
          e.preventDefault();
          console.log("prevented default");
          deletePreview($(this));
      });
      function deletePreview(button) {
          console.log("clicked");
          //Delete Offer from DB
          $.post('@Url.Content("~/")Offer/DeleteJoAnnOffer/?offerId=' + offerID, function (data) {
                console.log("finished deleting");
                if (button.attr('id') == "CancelButton") {
                   window.location.href = '@Url.Content("~/")Offer/CreateJoAnn/';
                } else {
  
                    //DO DEFAULT ACTION HERE
  
                }
         });
      };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>[EDIT]: One more question: If I don't use preventDefault(), my jquery event executes (well the initial part because my console logs "clicked"), but I cannot confirm if the jquery posts are actually executing because the console refreshes on the new page.</p>
