Lightbox perfect code challenge from Jquery basics

Hello folks,

I am not quite sure I understand what the following task is asking:

"Oh no! When you click on an image the browser follows the link. Fix it."

Could someone help please?

Thanks.

Remember to set up the preventDefault();

$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href");

you must focus on line 19.
