[jQuery] extra parameter at the end of .click() in older code

[Geoffrey Knutzen]

I am using some code written a few months ago by another developer.

It is in this form:

$('#someId').click(function () { /*do some stuff here*/ }, false);

What is the purpose of the "false" attribute after the function?

Is that some sort of deprecated functionality or just a mistake?

 

Thanks
