href attribute

[UKuser]

Hi,

I'm having problems with this line:

document.getElementById('link'+1).setAttribute('href','#');
where link+1 is
<a href="map.html" target="searchX" id='link1'>Images</a>

Unlike many posts I've found on the web, I actually need to amend
link1 rather than create it. The reason being is that I've created
some tabs where if javascript is not turned on the search outputs to
an iframe hidden in the noscript tag. In FF I can strip the map.html
so it will work normally with JS turned on however IE still opens
map.html in a new window - showing its not stripping the href.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Thanks for replying.

In the end I actually used removeAttribute - which I'd played with on
the target attribute but it didnt fully work - never tried it on href
and that fixed it.

Thanks again.

Probably :
document.links['link'+1].href = '#';
would have fixed it too.

Why not just prevent the default action in the attached listener.
Changing the href is an odd way to go about this.
