Alternative to <a href="#"> ?

This is kind of silly, but I seem to remember that there was an alternative to <a href="#"> (mainly for links with an onclick attribute). I also remember it involving a JS function to put in there, something like <a href="javascript: something">. Basically I want the link to only open a popup, and not go to the top of the page as it does with href="#". Anyone know what I'm talking about? Laughing

<a href="javascript:onclick=popupFunction();">

That seems to work OK - not sure of its compatibility though.

or maybe this....

<a href="#" onclick="popupFunction(); return false;">

The first one is exactly what I don't want Smile

.

I'll try the second, which looks to be what I was looking for.

Edit: Thanks, it works perfectly! Cool
