exit from click handler

Question

How do you exit from an event?

$('.more').click(function() {
   if (condition1) {
      if (condition2) {
         // abort, exit completely out of click handler
      ...

Answer 1

Use the return there:

$('.more').click(function() {
   if (condition1) {
      if (condition2) {
         // abort, exit completely out of click handler
         return;

See:

Answer 2

return;

That will take you out of the function that is associated with the on click handler;

Answer 3

Note that you can also use break here.

$('.more').click(function() {
   if (condition1) {
      if (condition2) {
         // abort, exit completely out of click handler
         break;
