Prevent the default action of an event

Use the preventDefault() method. This method works with inline attribute.

<button type="submit" onclick="event.preventDefault()">Click</button>

and event handlers:

ele.onclick = function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    // Do some thing
    ...
};

ele.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    ...
});
