a link to nowhere 2

[Geates]

How do I create a link that goes nowhere and does nothing (from a href perspective)? The purpose is simply to provide clickable text that will toggle a div's display between 'none' and 'block' via a js function.

I have tried href="" which works, but changes focus to another window after being clicked. (Kind of like alt+tab). I have also tried href="#" but this takes you back to the top of the page.

If there is no way to do it through an anchor link, I can fabricate one with a span but would prefer the prior

<span style="text-decoration: underline;" onClick="toggleDisplay('text1');">Link</span>

Any suggestions?

Hi

Tried to stop the link's default behavior ?

[b]<a[/b] [maroon]href[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]""[/i][/green] [maroon]onclick[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"toggleDisplay('text1');[highlight]return false[/highlight]"[/i][/green][b]>[/b]Link[b]</a>[/b]

you could also use the javascript protocol

<a href="javascript:myfunction();">link text</a>

I like that format better.
