How to Avoid Javascript Void

How to Avoid Javascript Void

The "javascript:void(0);" statement is often when a link has no URL attached to it but is used to reference a JavaScript function. If there is no URL attached to the link, the browser does not know what to do and returns you to the top of the page. Using "javascript:void(0)" in this instance can cause certain browsers to present your web page in unusual ways. Instead, you should use the "return false;" statement to tell the browser not to look for the URL.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

·       Text editor

1.      Step 1

Open the document in any text editor.

2.      Step 2

Locate the "javascript:void(0)" references within the document.

3.      Step 3

Replace the links with the pound symbol (#) with the syntax "<a href="#"'>."

4.      Step 4

Add the "return false" declaration to the statement. The entire link reference would look like:

<a href="a" onClick="callFunction();return false;">Link</a>

Replace "callFunction()" with the name of your function.

5.      Step 5

Save and close the file.
