A HREF and onClick
Eric C. Chien
Hi all,
I have found that HREF is mandatory for onClick to work. I've always
included it, as I've never had an occasion when it matter... but now
it does.
I want to use onClick, but not have the page reload at all... just
execute my onClick function.
I've used <A HREF = # > but this reloads the page and < A HREF = "">
try to take me to the directory listing the file is in. Any ideas on
how to make onClick not reload? (like onMouseover).
...Eric

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick=FUNCTION()... (void(0)=do nothing)
or
<a href="javascript:FUNCTION()"...
the first version doesn't work with NN2, for the second solution i don't
know. both work fine with NN3
good luck,

Use HREF="javascript:void('')"
This seams to be an undocumented function in javascript

And of course doesn't work with MSIE, like most of these new NN3
features. The Netscape pages are actually *proud* of that! Does anyone
know what to use that will work with both NN3 and MSIE3? (I actually
hate Microsnort's guts, but when you make a site for customers...)
Thanks.

Make one yourself:
function none(){}
does the exact same thing except you don't have to send any parameters
(like the '' in void)

This is exactly what I wound up doing, except that I called it nop() .

given the choice of a user defined function instead of the onclick
event, produces an interesting bug.
<a href="javascript:GoSomewhere('home')" onMouseOver="window.status='Go
home'">Home</A>
When I put the mouse directly over the text anchor Home my status
bar says javascript:GoSomewhere('home')
but if I put my mouse above or below the anchor my status bar
says Go home.
How odd. I wish I could make it say what I want it too.

For NN3 I do this:
<a href="" onClick='myfunc();return false'>
MSIE ignores the "return false" and shows the directory listing, so I
added this:
<a name="here">
<a href="#here" onClick='myfunc();return false'>
MSIE does reload the page, but MSIE users sure deserve this
inconvenience.
I have also added the following code at the beginning of the script, and
I recommend everyone to do something similar:
==========================================================
var MSIE = false;
uAgent = navigator.userAgent;
if (uAgent.indexOf("MSIE", 0)>=0)
MSIE = true;
if (MSIE)
alert("You are using Microsoft Internet Explorer! This site works best
with Netscape Nevigator - download it by following the link on this
page.");
===========================================================
I do this:

Make the onMouseOver event return true. Then Netscape (presumably
version 3 only) will not display the anchor's href.
Works for me :-)

Two options:
