Question

I want to pass 2 javascript events in one click, I put 2 of them into href and onclick. But when I click, it always executes the onclick action. Click again or a third time, the href action gets executed. I do not know how it was like this.

How do I to solve it?

If I combine 2 javascript events in one part(href or onclick). is it could run well? how to?

thanks.

<a href="javascript:function1('value1')" onclick="javascript:function2('value2')">

Answer 1

Try this:

<a href="#" onclick="function1('value1'); function2('value2'); return false;">

Note that you do not need to put “javascript:” in the onclick event. And it is generally better to use onclick rather than href to execute javascript.

You could even change href="#" to link to a page saying you need javascript enabled. return false; will cancel the link if javascript is working.
