How to set url calling javascript function correctly?

Question

I am using jslint to test my javascript.

This gives me repeatedly the following error:

Problem at line 236 character 18: Script URL.
a.href = "javascript:DoSomething(" + messageID + ");"

Maybe jslint is right. What would be the correct way to install .href?

Answer 1

Give it an event handler onclick, for example:

a.onclick = function() { DoSomething(messageID); };

Leave hrefas #and stop scrolling or return falseto stop scrolling, for example:

a.onclick = function() { DoSomething(messageID); return false; };

Answer 2

You should use the event onclick:

<a href="#" onclick="DoSomething(messageID);">Link Text</a>

Answer 3

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:DoSomething(" + messageID + "); return false;">Link</a>

return false;, a.

Answer 4

HREF URL-. "href="javascript:...".

, JavaScript, onclick.

Answer 5

The error is that you are trying to set the "click" behavior by changing the "href" first. Do not do that. Instead, give the tag <a>a "click" handler and set "href" to "#" if you don't want the link to go nowhere.

Answer 6

: document.getElementById('myHref').href = "http://stackoverflow.com"
