Question

I have alert boxes all around my site, that have been working up until now, ( I have done a few updates to my blog recently before this started happening ) the problem I am experienceing is that when I click on a link ( in my case a image link ) and the alert box appears, I submitt the ok button and suddenly im rediercted to a white page with ‘true’ in the top corner. My alert box scripts are inside my blog template.

I tested this alert box script out in a blog post:

<"a href="javascript:onClick=alert(&quot;Not an active link&quot;);">CLICK<"/a>

withouth the extra “

and then went to preview the post, however the same error occured. This is not a browser problem as it only happens on my site, when i got to someone elses with alert boxes, it works. Please help with this I have been asking about it for about a week now and would appreciate someone who can help

here is a screenshot of what I get redirected to:

Thanks for all help.

Answer 1

I think you messed up with javascript inside href and the onclick attribute. Your snippet is actually assigning the result of the alert function call to the variable onCLick. The display of true might be the return value of the alert method. Still an odd behavior.

<a href="javascript:alert('Not an active link');">CLICK</a>
<a href="#" onclick="alert('Not an active link');">CLICK</a>

Those two cause no problems to me.
