e.preventdefault stops links and when removed, tabs stops working.

[RonnieSoares]

I followed the tutorial by Chris Coyer to create the round out tabs from this site but it isn’t working. this is the code in the head of the html.
I dont have experience with java nor jquery but i researched this problem and found that removing the “preventdefault” fixes the link but than the tabs wont work.
Its a project for my class and I really need help on this one. i’m very tired and frustrated with this.
is there is a way i can send the entire project so someone can really help me work that out. (2Mb file).
thanks very much!

i also tryed this method, it seemed like it would work but didn’t

$(function() {

$("li").click(function() {

$(this).addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');

});

});

I’m not going to download anything, but it looks like you’re targeting too many

I’m not really sure why you put a preventDefault on an LI in the first place — the default action of clicking on an LI is nothing, so there’s nothing to prevent.

If there is an anchor/link in your LI that you’re clicking on, that would make more sense to me, so maybe you should target that, and put the function (and preventDefault) on the $('li a').

Regardless, using your code in a fiddle seems to work: http://jsfiddle.net/senff/Ly5C5/1/ so there’s probably something else going on there.
