I would like to know what is the difference between javascript:; and javascript:void(0); if I use them in href attribure for a anchor (link)

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="DoSomething();">Link</a>

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="DoSomething();">Link</a>

I see them acting the same on all browsers but what is the technical difference?

Regards,
Magdy

    One runs JavaScript that is just an empty statement, the other runs JavaScript that evaluates the statement 0 and then returns undefined.

    Neither should be used.
