title: dojo's event.preventDefault() not working on <a> tag
body: <p>i'm quite new to Dojo, but i am trying to convert an existing javascript interface from pure javascript to Dojo.</p>
  
  <p>i am stucked on the following problem</p>
  
  <p>basically i tryied to convert</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a id="myLink" onclick="myfunction()"&gt;bla&lt;/a&gt;
  
  function myfunction() {
  //some funny code
  return false; //To PREVENT default link behaviour
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>var handle = dojo.connect(dojo.byId('myLink'),'onclick',function (evt) {
      evt.preventDefault(); //took from dojo reference
          //same code that worked in pure js
  
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I cannot figure the problem out. Both Chrome and Firefox don't fire any error or exception, so i guess, there are no syntax errors.</p>
  
  <p>I tryed to connect that function to a input submit instead of the link and <strong>it worked</strong> but i need it to be connected to a link....</p>
  
  <p>Maybe i'm just tired, but i swear i can't see the error...</p>
