Default Actions
Default Actions
Some events come with browser behaviour. Clicking a link normally navigates. Submitting a form normally sends a request or reloads the page.
preventDefault tells the browser that your JavaScript is handling the interaction. The event still happened, but the built-in action should not continue.
Your task: When the preview link is clicked, prevent its default navigation and update the notice text to say that the preview opened inline.
