Onclick - Advice Please
Hi again forum revlers and helpfull kindly people alike.
I posted the other day regarding Onclick and the advice given was fine and worked (In browzer from a folder on my desktop).
However my project is in near completion, and the friendly and helpfull people of this forum have been fundimental in this goal.
Today i uploaded several of my .html files onto a server.
The issue i have is with onclick, as far as i can see the server pathways have been changed correctly, when i click the links are dead.
It would be a great help if someone could look at my code and hopefully spot a simple error and maybe repost the code corrected with blah blahs.
Here is my code:
<a href="http://www.blahblah.co.uk/directory/#" onClick="window.open('cutedoglarge.jpg','','width=347,height=440,status=0,scrollbars=0','screenx=300','screeny=200')"><img src="http://www.blahblah.co.uk/directory/cutedogthumb" alt="Click To Enlarge" width="154" height="200" class="thumb" border="0" style="display:inline"></a>Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance.

I don't think this a fatal error, but usually for this type of dummy link I use the JavaScript void() function:
<a href="javascript: void(0)"which does not reposition the page like the "#" usually does.
actually, when I do see the hash used, it is usually solo like
<a href="#"but I would definitely go with the void() function.
You may need to put in the full URL to the image, if you are having problems...

After googleing the
<a href="javascript: void(0)"there was a lot of talk about it having a bug ect so i was a little dubious.But i have to say it works perfectly in both firefox and IE and my page doesnt reload! Perfect thank you Decibel, very kind.

Not sure if this is still a problem (and what the exact issue was in the first place!
), but you could re-write your code like this:
<a href="#" onClick="window.open('cutedoglarge.jpg','','width=347,height=440,status=0,scrollbars=0','screenx=300','screeny=200');return false;"><img src="http://www.blahblah.co.uk/directory/cutedogthumb.jpg" alt="Click To Enlarge" width="154" height="200" class="thumb" border="0" style="display:inline"></a>Hope this helps.
*** EDIT ***
Don't be afraid to post a link, it's often easier to see what a problem is by looking at a live page.
