Sorry, didn't mean to send a short and Curt reply. Javascript:void(0) in the

used it in similar situations, where an onclick is required.

That doesn't seem to work the way I want to. It appears as that the href takes precedence over the onClick, which basically causes the link to do nothing. Yes, Javascript:void(0); prevents naviagtion away from the page, but it also disables the onClick code. I tried it in both Firefox and IE, and while Firefox just doesn't do anything IE complains about a semicolon missing in a spot where I put a semicolon. Microsoft's error messages are always beyond useless.

I went back to using href="" instead, which appears to work OK.
I expanded my function to accept a different parameter so that it can create a plain simple link. That makes it easier even when someone finds a good way to detect JS, it needs to be done only once and the parameter to be passed can be set accordingly.

Thanks for your help.
