Question

I have a <a href="someaddress"> link that also has a onclick function under a parent <div> with id of “mention”. How can I make it so that by default, when user clicks the <a> link it will not redirect to the webpage but it will do the onclick function?

I want to still have href because in case if user’s javascript doesn’t work, at least they can still go to the link.

Answer 1

onclick="return false;" is a way to make an <a> tag not actually do anything on click.

EDIT

i had onlick, obv. it was supposed to be onclick
