title: double click prevented but prevent default does not work
body: <p>I am using code <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13376601/jquery-how-to-disable-dblclick-events">from this post</a> and the double click prevention works, however the button still does not respond to <code>preventDefault</code></p>
  
  <p>Can anyone lend a hand please.</p>
  
  <p>js:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var myBtn = $('.myLink');
  var handler = function(e){
      e.preventDefault();
      console.log("prevent 2x click");
      $(this).unbind('click');
      setTimeout(function(){ myBtn.click(handler); }, 500);
  }
  myBtn.click(handler);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>html:<br/>
  <code>&lt;a class='myLink' href="#"&gt;my link to click&lt;/a&gt;</code></p>
