unwanted page reload

[julian_m]

After double-clicking the link the browser wants to reload the page,
even though there is not any link at all.
It doesn't happen if I change the "ondblclick" event to "onclick"

<a href="" ondblclick="show_div('the_div_3'); return false;">Div 3</a>
<div style="display: none;" id="the_div_1">This is div 1</div>

The javascript function is really a basic one...

<script type="text/javascript">
function show_div(div_id) {
document.getElementById(div_id).style.display = 'block';
}

</script>


Any hint?

It's 'cause you have an empty href.

Do:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" ondblclick="show_div('the_div_3'); return
false;">

Great, thanks.

It's strange what happens with (click != dblclick) though

The href picks up the click before the double-click, and when empty reacts
in browser-specific ways.
