Hello,

I have an onclick event in a hyperlink that works in Netscape but doesn't work in IE. Below is my hyperlink.

Code:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="link1();">1</a>

Below is the link1 function and asp code

Code:
function link1()  
{
 document.orderform.goPage.value='order1.asp';
 document.orderform.submit();	
}

<%
If request.form("frmcomplete") = "yes" Then
	Session("BM0001") = request.form("BM0001")
	Session("BM0002") = request.form("BM0002")
	Session("BM0003") = request.form("BM0003")
	Session("BM0004") = request.form("BM0004")
	Session("BM0005") = request.form("BM0005")
	Dim goPage
	goPage = Request.Form("goPage")
	response.redirect goPage
End If
%>

Netscape handles this perfectly but it only works in IE if I put a # in the hyperlink like
Code:
<a href="#" onclick="link1();">1</a>
but a # in the hyperlink submits the page to itself before it does the processing, which I don't want.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
