How can I prevent href redirect onclick

Question

I have a div what acts like a button(.butt), when I click it, It should prevent a href from redirecting and open a input. It dosent work, it still redirects and when I go back from redirection the input appears, but when I press the input it still redirects.

How can I make it so that when I press my div it disables the redirection and lets my insert a value into input to change the value?

 var x; var h = 0; // blur fires multiple times, use h to count and fire once var url = 'up.php'; $(".butt").on('click', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); $(".tk").on('click', function(d) { d.stopPropagation(); var x = $(d.target); x.html('<input id="edit2" style="width: 40px;" value="'+x.text()+'">'); var this_id = x.context.id; $("#edit2").on('blur', function(d) { if (h < 1) { h = h+1; d.stopPropagation(); $(d.target.parentElement).text(d.target.value); $.get(url, {id: this_id, value: d.target.value}) .done(function(d){ if(d == undefined || d != 1) { alert('Something went wrong, check your data and results. '+d);}}) .fail(function(d){ alert('error');}); $("#edit2").off('blur'); } }); h = 0; }); }); 

 .butt{width:15px;height:15px; background-color:red;border-radius: 50%;} 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="butt"> </div> <a href="http://www.google.com" class="tk">click</a>

You can use preventDefault

The event.preventDefault() method stops the default action of an element from happening.

d.preventDefault();

 var x; var h = 0; // blur fires multiple times, use h to count and fire once var url = 'up.php'; $(".butt").on('click', function(d) { $(this).on("click", function(){return false;}) $(".tk").on('click', function(d) { d.preventDefault(); d.stopPropagation(); var x = $(d.target); x.html('<input id="edit2" style="width: 40px;" value="'+x.text()+'">'); var this_id = x.context.id; $("#edit2").on('blur', function(d) { if (h < 1) { h = h+1; d.stopPropagation(); $(d.target.parentElement).text(d.target.value); $.get(url, {id: this_id, value: d.target.value}) .done(function(d){ if(d == undefined || d != 1) { alert('Something went wrong, check your data and results. '+d);}}) .fail(function(d){ alert('error');}); $("#edit2").off('blur'); } }); h = 0; }); }); 

 .butt{width:15px;height:15px; background-color:red;border-radius: 50%;}
