I have a HTML page with form to fill.
Under those fields, there are images which fill automatically some fields when we clic on it.
Here is the code:
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;recopiecoltab(0)&quot;>
<IMG SRC=&quot;nexts.gif&quot; border=0></a>

When I clic on that image the page scroll goes up to the top.
Is it possible to avoid that scroll?

Thanks for your help.

Instead of calling the javascript function in the onclick event, call it in href.

<a href=&quot;javascript:recopiecoltab(0)&quot;><IMG SRC=&quot;nexts.gif&quot; border=0></a>.

This will solve ur problem.

The solution is simple: add &quot;return false&quot; to the function call:

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;recopiecoltab(0); return false&quot;>

Another way to do it is the following :
Code: 
<IMG SRC=&quot;nexts.gif&quot; border=0 onClick=&quot;recopiecoltab(0)&quot;>
note that, with this typing, your image is not diplayed as a link and no normal link styling is applied to it. Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-)

Events of Image object like <img onclick=&quot;&quot;> are not supported by NN4 and therefore not recommended to use.

thanks a lot,

i finally choose that solution:

<IMG SRC=&quot;nexts.gif&quot; border=0 onClick=&quot;recopiecoltab(0)&quot;>

it works perfectly. Dekeyzer Stephane.

Starway: what about
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=window.open(&quot;new.htm&quot;,&quot;name&quot;,&quot;width=300,height=300&quot;)><img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;print.gif&quot;></a>
is it also not allowed for NN4?

smarties,
To tell you the truth, I never tried to call window.open() on link onclick event, and don't even want to try.
I always do it from JS function determined in the <head> of the document.

Using standard techniques and rules help you to avoid many troubles and save time you may waste on useless bug hunting. I better strict to other, more important things.

starway does have a point, but I rather stick to better things than NN4 anyways where I know things will work and not have unexplained bugs! :) Gary Haran
