how do i stop a form submit with jQuery
<p>I have this form <a href="http://posnation.com/shop_pos/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and i dont want them to go to the next page without certain selections</p>

<pre><code>&lt;form method="post" action="step2/" id="form1"&gt;
....
....
....
&lt;input type="submit" class="submit notext" value="Next" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>and here is my jquery</p>

<pre><code>$('.submit').click(function(e) {
    var business = $(".business_type_select").find('.container strong').text();
    alert(business);
    if(business == "Select Business Type"){
        alert("BusinessBusinessBusiness");
        e.preventDefault;
        return false;
    }
});
</code></pre>
