So many times writing html code along with javascript, I create <a> elements.

My question is, can I ignore the href attribute? as I rather add an ID attribute and handle the click there.

Most of the time when I do that, its not to go to a different page, but more to perform a ajax call of some sort.

I hate having the # in the url, it just looks ugly.

Should I rather use a different element, i.e. a <span> and just modify it with a class to look like link?

Thanx
J

    If you have a link without a href, it’s not a link, it’s probably a button, and you should be using one, instead of a link.
