onClick Calender issue not loading, Error msg: Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

[divina11]

Can someone explain what the following line does or mean:
[CODE=javasript]"javascript:voi d(0)"[/CODE]

The rest of my Calender pop-up code:

[CODE=javascript]<span onclick='select Date("startdate ")'><a href="javascrip t:void(0)"><img valign="middle" src="http://ai.spirahellic. com/DDL/media/calender_icon.g if" alt="" width="19" height="20" border="0"></a></span>[/CODE]

Thank you

The javascript code "javascript:voi d(0)" means do nothing.

[code=html]
<a href="javascrip t:void(0);" onclick="functi on();">Link</a>
[/code]

in the example above a link is created and when it is clicked you would rather have it do some form of javascript instead of linking to another page. Adding "javascript:voi d(0)" won't flash the page and it will do whatever the onclick is designed to do.

For your second question, can you please post the code of the function selectDate and whatever other functions make use of it.

Hi..!
i m still a novice but i think i can answer your question.
void(0) is a script which does not do anything.
the request remains the same,the browser does not do anything when this script is executed.
another way of doing this is using <a href="#" onclick=somethi ng..>
there is a difference between these two also, which im not sure of..!

does it work when the onclick attribute is replaced in <a> tag??

# - This can take you to a portion of the page (for people that still use this....)
javascript: void(0); - javascript: tells the browser that its fixing to use js, then void(0); voids the action. so the page does not move. (this will not scroll you around on the page like # can.)
