Hi All, I have a little deal where I need to run some javascript code when someone clicks on a link. The link shouldn't go anywhere.. let me explain.

The link is on a person's name, and when they click on their name, I want to pop up a little window that gives them all of the information about themselves. I have the javascript already written, and the PHP code written to get the data from the database... it's the link part that is tripping me up now.

I have this: <a href='' OnClick=MyInfo()>[person's name]</a>

Try '<a href='#' OnClick=MyInfo()>[person's name]</a>' instead, IE will not go into the directory listing, it just refers to a blank internal link, contrarly from '' which is a link to the current working directory :) Ciao! Ju.

and it's working -- the window pops up and everything looks great... but the page that the link is on does different things in different browsers: IE5.x/Netscape 4.x/Mozilla 0.9: Tries to access the directory that the URL is in, subsequently getting a "directory browsing is denied" error. Konqueror: Works fine, but the link isn't underlined like a link is supposed to be.

What can I do? Has anyone tried to do something like this before?

Thanks for putting up with the off topic thread :-/

Hi Sorry for the late reply, but you may find this way better: <A HREF="/path/to/that/popup.html" TARGET="POPUP">ClickMe!</A> This doesn't use Javascript, so is much more compatible with a wider variety of browsers or if Javascript has been disabled for security purposes. The TARGET variable tells the browser what window/frame to open the page in. In this case, the frame 'popup' doesn't exist, so a new browser window is opened. If you need to set the size/position of the popup, then you'll have to use Javascript, although you could put it in the popup window itself and use the above method to call the window.
