Question

I have an html page, and I need a link to show that the user would be going to ‘example.html’, when really, the link goes to ‘javascipt:ajaxLoad(example.html);’.

I tried this:

<a href="example" onclick="javascipt:ajaxLoad(example.html);">Example</a>

But it didn’t work. Any help? I already asked the webmasters stackexchange, and they told me that this would be a javascript programming question. Not an html question.

Answer 1

<a href="example.html" onclick="ajaxLoad(this.href); return false;">Example</a>

By returning false you prevent the default action. And this way the links will still work when javascript is disabled, but then you don’t get the AJAX functionality.
