non-hyperlink clickable text?

R

Richard

Is it possible to create clickable text that does not redirect the browser
to another URL? I'm trying to use the <A> tag strictly for triggering a
javascript function but this seems impossible because it will not create
hypertext unless there is a URL specified.. and that just screws things up.
Is the a way around this? I'm writing in ASP.NET if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Richard

<a href="#" onclick="dosomething(); return(false);">Some text here</a>

....or something very close to that.

Previously in alt.html said:

But be aware that anyone with Javascript disabled/unavailable will
probably just get taken to the top of the page. Better to write the
above on the page with Javascript in the first place, so that those
without Javascript don't even see the link.
