    javascript: void(0) problem

    I've a 'TEST' link on page, which has href='javascrip t: void(0)', and
    a big iframe page.
    When I load the page, window.onload event is triggered after the big
    iframe page loaded,
    If I click the 'TEST' link before the window.onload execute, the
    window.onload will never execute in IE 6.0.


    <html>
    <body>
    <a href='javascrip t: void(0)'>TEST</a>
    <div id='tt'></div>
    <iframe src='http://www.yahoo.com'> </iframe>
    <script>
    window.onload = function(){
    document.getEle mentById('tt'). innerHTML = '1';
    }
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

      Yet another reason not to use a javascript: URL

          Right you are, Randy, but what is the problem of the OP?

          If he/she does not like the behavour, why put in that link?

              The problem of the OP is that they are clicking on a link before the
              page has finished loading so the onload event never fires. It will do
              that with *any* link if there is nothing in the link to tell the browser
              not to navigate. The only reason the OP is seeing the behavior and
              doesn't see it with a "normal" link is that a normal link causes the
              browser to navigate away so you don't realize the onload event never fired.
              If he/she does not like the behavour, why put in that link?
              Precisely.
