I am trying to comment the following html so that it shouldn’t go to hyperlink.

<a href="<!--http://www.google.com=-->" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:alert('Navigation Prevented')">CLICK HERE FOR GOOGLE</a>

I am unable to comment target=”_blank”. if I do so it doesn’t work and it displays javascript on page as well.

How do I have the page display alert as well as stop opening the page in new tab. I want the effect of target=”_blank” to be cancelled.

Can’t we have multiple comments inline for html.

    You can’t have HTML comments inside an HTML tag, as the comment is a tag itself.

    You can return false from the event handler to keep the browser from following the link:

    <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:alert('Navigation Prevented');return false;">CLICK HERE FOR GOOGLE</a>
