Prevent clicks from restarting SMIL audio playback?

I tried this and couldn't get it to work. I wasn't sure if somehow the click handler for the div under the text button was getting queued up before it recognized the change in data-ibooks-audio-reset-on-play, but it didn't seem to work. I didn't want to permanently set it to false because I would like playback to restart if they are clicking on the text and not the text button.

I was already using jquery in my javascript to do the changing of the text in the modal box that pops up to display additional information. So, by changing from a standard HTML5 click handler to using jquery click handlers and returning false in the click handler for the text button, it prevents the div that is behind it from having its click handler executed. It now seems to be working fine.

var modal = document.getElementById("modalWindow");

$('#infoLink').click(function (event){

// A bunch of code here to fill in the div's with information based on which infoLink was clicked

modal.style.display = "block";

return false;

});

// When the user clicks on modal close button (x), close the modal

$('#close-button').click(function (event){

modal.style.display = "none";

});
