does e.stopPropagation() in jquery works on anchor tag

event.stopPropagation() stops passing the event to handlers further away in DOM structure from the element, on which originally event was triggered. It does not, although, prevent action that has already been triggered.

You should use event.preventDefault() to stop mentioned above default action.
