Backbone with TB2 modal sample View class

gistfile1.js

    ZPCommon.Views.SocialSharesView = Backbone.View.extend({
        template: 'public/common/socialShares_hb',
        id: 'socialShares',
        className: 'buttonBox',
        initialize: function() {
            _.bindAll(this, 'emailShare');
        },
        events: {
            'click #emailShareBtn': 'emailShare'
        },
        emailShare: function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $('#emailShareModal').modal('show');
        }
    });

Shouldn't be, we have very few routes and none have a hash at the start. Also, I would have expected the preventDefault() to block that.

Bill, I figured it out. Hard to say what I was doing wrong but mainly because I'm still learning how Backbone fires and responds to events in Views. Thanks for chiming in.
