Question

HI,

I am developing a web page using asp.net.

I am using some links in my web page. For that I have used some code like this.

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:ChangeLoc('TEST','');">Test</a>

and in the ChangeLoc() method I have written __doPostBack event.

This works fine in IE7 installed in my machine. But in IE6 in another machine it does not invoke the __doPostBack event.

Edit

When I change the void(0) in href it works fine.

I would like to know whether it is a bug with IE or a JavaScript problem.

function ChangeLoc( param, arg )
{
     __doPostBack ( param, arg )
}

Answer 1

href and onclick both get fired when you click an element, you are overwriting the onclick event with void()

change to

<a href="#" onclick="ChangeLoc();return false">test</a>

or with jQuery.

$(function(){
  $("#linkId").click(function(event){
      ChangeLoc();
      event.preventDefault();
  });
});
