Why is void(0) opening a new window?

[cawthor]

Hi,

I have the following link in my page:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="MyFunction();">

Basically, I want the link to execute my javascript function and nothing else. It does this, but then it lauches a new window with 'javascript:void(0);' in the address bar. I thought adding the void(0) to the href tells it to do nothing. I have this same call on a different page and it works fine. But for some reason on this one page it is opening a new window. Any ideas?

Huh?

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="MyFunction();">Click here</a>
<script language="javascript">
function MyFunction(){ alert("Hellooo..."); }
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="MyFunction(); return false;">Click here</a>

Vongrunts code still launched a new window with javascript:void(); as the address. Adding the 'return false' suggested by Flava fixed it for me. Thanks guys.
