Consider the following testcase:

<a href="http://www.example.com"; onclick="return 0">Click me</a>
Should clicking the link load www.example.com?
Yes. You should explicitly return "false" to cancel an event.
I've had to deal with customer fault reports saying that "return 0"
should cancel the event, so have to allow for numbers here too. I'm
assuming that means that one or more of the major desktop browsers
permits this.
In my testing, IE doesn't do that; they require 'false' exactly. Without
more support for this, I'd be reluctant to change it.
Could you elaborate?
The current release of iCab (3.03) treats 'return 0' the same as 'return
false'.
On the other hand, all these browsers do not in my testing:
IE 3, 4, 5.0, 5.5, 6, 7 (Windows)
IE 5.2 (Mac)
Netscape 4, 8 (Windows)
Netscape 6, 7 (Mac)
Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2 (Mac)
Opera 3, 4, 5 (Windows)
Opera 6, 7, 8, 9 (Mac)
Safari 2.0.4 (Mac)
