<a href="javascript:expand()"
> and <a href="#" onclick="javascript:expand
()">
what's the difference? i know the href="#" is the more standard way nowdays to do it. my problem is i have a standard dropdown menu that expand/collapse when user clicks on toggle. if i do href="#" for the code below, whenever someone clicks on expand the page ALWAYS scroll right back to the top which isnt acceptable from a user friendly point. If i use href="javascript:expand()"
when user clicks expand, the page doesnt move and everything is ok. So will there be any problems if i just use href="javascript:expand()"
instead? or how do i fix the href="#" so the page doesnt scroll back to the top whenever user clicks expand. thanks.

for (var i=0;i<thisSec.length;i++) {thisSec[i].style.display = 'none'}
}
else{
for (var i=0;i<thisSec.length;i++) {thisSec[i].style.display = 'inline'}
}

if (thisSec.style.display != 'none') {thisSec.style.display = 'none'}
