My post should have had
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="return false;">
The javascript: protocol evaluates the expression after the colon
), if there is one, and loads a page containing the string value
of the expression, unless it is undefined. If the expression evaluates to undefined (by calling a void function, for example
javascript:void(0)), no new page loads.
By making it an explicit void you save javascript the trouble of determining it is undefined (and the possible errors of the space
as per the users post)
- the onclick "kills" the click event
| How's <a href="javascript:void(0)" better than <a href="javascript:;" ? I've
| always used the second out of habit but never thought there was anything to
| chose between the 2.
