e.preventdefault(); not working

I'm having real trouble getting e.preventDefault(); to work.

Here is my code

$('#ListSnapshot a').live('click', function(e){
    var url = $(this).attr('href') +' #WebPartWPQ2 .ms-listviewtable';
    $('#ListSnapshot').load(url);
    e.preventDefault();
});

Could someone explain what I'm doing wrong, I can see the load function work but then the page redirects to the clicked link which I need to prevent.

I have also tried moving e.preventDefault(); to the top of the function, to no avail.

e.preventDefault() should execute before the other lines of code in the handler.

$('#ListSnapshot a').live('click', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var url = $(this).attr('href') +' #WebPartWPQ2 .ms-listviewtable';
    $('#ListSnapshot').load(url);
});

Old question but this is just the kind of moment should see what firebug logs in the console or returns as error. Something in your code is obviously preventing preventDefault() from prevent a redirect.
