There is the old empty anchor (#).  Is that what you mean?


Sure, if you are using <a>'s. Then just put a "return false;"  in your
handler to stop it "jumping" to the top of the screen. You could always use
a <span>, then you don't have to worry about href etc. Although in an <a>
you get free hover behaviour...

This would be very neat.  If I stored the records id in the id attribute,
eg:
<.a href="#" class="delete" id="NSW">Delete<./a>
how do I go about extracting that for use in the deletion function?


You can use this.id within the scope of the handler. eg:

$("a.delete").click(function() {
 if (confirm("Really delete?")) {
   delete(this.id);
 }
});

"this" will give you the element that was clicked. You can do $(this) to
wrap that element in a jQuery object if you need extra functionality. So
this.id is the same as $(this).id().

Cheers,

Chris
