Clicking a link with a relative path works out of the box?

[trusktr]

I have

<a href="/path"></a>

and when I click the link the router works! I didn't have to do

Template.x.events({
  'click a': function(e) {
    e.preventDefault()
    FlowRouter.go('/path')
  }
})

Is this handled by flow-router? Handled by Meteor?

[arunoda]

Links are normally handled by flow-router. FlowRouter.go() if you need to do it manually.

[trusktr]

Where's the code that handles those links?

[arunoda]

It's done by page.js the library we use behind the scene.

I need to prevent the link click, but need the href to be there for SEO, Do not know why I cannot use

clickEvent.stopPropagation();
clickEvent.preventDefault();
return false;

to stop the click event
