[jQuery] click not triggering on safari (mac), chrome (windows)?


Hi jQueriers,
Bumped into an oddity on Safari and Chrome. I have a HTML page and I
want to intercept all <a> links and feed them through an ajax request
instead. So I first do this
    $("a").bind("click",handleAjaxifiedLink);
which routes clicks to
    function handleAjaxifiedLink(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        loadPage(e.target.href);
        return(false);
    }
This works under IE and Firefox, but Chrome and Safari just seem to
ignore it. Am I missing something really obvious? I don't run Safari
and the debugger in chrome is unhelpful, to say the least.
