What the??? <a href="javascript:alert(this);">« Back</a> Gives me [object] which is what I am after, but shouldn't <a href="mylink.cfm" onClick="alert(this);">test</a> do the same? I'm sure I used it before.
I was just debugging BTW, I was passing the object to a function, but it said undefined, then I started debugging i.e. alert(this) which should output [object] but instead output the link..... In anycase, <a href="javascript:alert(this);">« Back</a> works, so I am not going to worry any further, it's to early.....

Hey Taco An <a> with an href already has an implied onclick event - send a request for the url specified. So for <a> tags I think its generally better to use <a href="javascript:alert(this);">. Also the argument to alert is meant to be a plain text string - not an object, not sure if this is related to the problem though.
