Q: You said you don't want to send a request to the server at all,
right? The anchor is really just a placeholder... a place for people to
click to get at some sort of functionality, right? Thus, the browser
shouldn't take you anywhere; the url should be a moot point, right?
If that is the case, then your javascript is borked.
You need: onclick="return jsFunction()" and your js function needs to
return false. Alternatively, you could do:
onclick="jsFunction();return false";
If that still doesn't work, then your js is still borked; the js
interpreter to dying trying to interpret your js, before it gets tot he
"return false".
If I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, my apologies. I'll
readily admit to having only hastily read any of the msgs in this thread.
