False HREFS ?

hmm...i always use <A HREF="#bogus" ...> which never gave me problems...

I have also seen:

<a href="javascript:void()"> (and some variations)

and

<a href="">

Don't know how they affect the History, though.

A variation of Tom's suggestion:

<a href="javascript:;" onClick='location="myurl.htm";return(true);'>

TTom,

Your suggestion worked great.

I didn't use KnightEknight's as I already use the OnClick to call other scripts.

Cheers, submit as answer so I can rate it.

if you're using the onclick-event to fire a script maybe you'd like to either use an empty function in the HREF, or link the HREF to a script letting those without JavaScript know what's going on?

<a href="javascript:myVoid()" onclick=" ... "> with

function myVoid() { ; }

is the void-approach (often seen used by our local JavaScript guru Michel Plungjan).  he creates his own void()-function because some browsers (maybe the older ones) haven't got void().

<a href="otherpage.html" onclick="event();return false;">

is the other approach.  the 'return false' makes sure the link isn't followed for those with JavaScript enabled.
