No... you don't put the onclick handler on the link either. Keep your JS out of your HTML.
If it's a link that's ONLY there for the JS to do something, insert the link with the JS. If it's a link that can degrade gracefully (the preferred scenario), then put the link in, then override it's action. Whether the link is a full link, an anchor link, or just a dummy # link, return false (or, in jquery, preventDefault();) will prevent it from scrolling or otherwise causing you trouble. This is basic unobtrusive scripting. On 2/16/07, Kenneth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I actually prefer javascript:; since using # usually scrolls the page to the top which can be really annoying. If it's not a real link I don't see what the problem is there. Now, if it's an actual link that you're wanting to apply an onclick function to, you should use the onclick="javascript:return myfunc();" attribute, use the normal URL in the href="", and then return true/false from myfunc() depending on whether or not you want to link to be activated by the click.
