Difference In Calling Javascript In Href And Onclick Of Anchor Tag.

Jan 18, 2006

I am looking for a generic javascript function to identify the form with in which a element exists, thus developer can avoid coding like document.forms[index].submit() - where they are sure, they want the form with in which this element exists is to be submitted. This way when forms are introduced at top level the code can remain unchanged, else every form introduce above in the DOM will result in increasing the index by one.

The code is given below. While doing so i am stuck with 2 problems
P1: In the code, you can see i am giving a explicit 'break' in the code. If i don't do so the code seems to be looping. Obviously i am missing some basic.

P2: I am able to pass 'this' for anchor element by name="xy"
<a href="#" name="xy"

in its onclick function by which, in the javascript function i move up the DOM.

While i am unable to do that on the anchor element given below since this function is now on the href attribute.

<a name="xy1" href="javascript:doFormSubmit(this);">Q test</a>

Hence the script fails. Code:

Using HREF And ONCLICK In An Anchor Tag Doesnt Seem To Work

Aug 11, 2005

I'm trying to setup a page that uses JavaScript in a text link to submit a form:

<a href="do.htm" onclick="javascript:document.forms.Q01.submit();">

I also have added a fallback page in the href (do.htm) in case users have JavaScript disabled. But the JavaScript doesn't seem to be working. When I click the link it always goes to the fallback page, and doesn't submit the form.

I've tried swaping the order in the anchor tag (JS first, href second):

<a onclick="javascript:document.forms.Q01.submit();" href="do.htm">

and the same thing happens.

If I remove the href value:

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:document.forms.Q01.submit();">

the JS does execute properly.

How can I get the JS to execute by default for browsers that support it, and the href be the backup for browsers that dont support it?

Using Href:javascript And Anchor Links On Same Page

Jul 8, 2003

I'm working on a project where we're using JavaScript to let users swap styles on a page. To accomplish this, I'm calling the script via href="javascript:swapcss()" on the switch styles button.

Some pages on the site have anchor links. On those pages, if someone swaps styles without hitting any of the anchor links, all is well. But if someone hits an anchor link and then hits the swap button (at this point the URL is pageid.html#anchor), the page just reloads to their anhor point without swapping styles.

Does anyone have a workaround handy? I've tried several alternatives I've found online (href="#" onClick="action"; href="javascript void(0)" ). Nothing works for this case yet. Code:

Overriding '<a Href' With '<a OnClick' For JavaScript Function OpenWindow(URL) For Image And Link...

Jul 23, 2005

Can anyone assist me with what I am trying to do with the following
code (six different scenarios to try to make the functionality work
correctly)?

I want to always (and ONLY) display in the status bar 'Symantec
Corporation' whenever anyone mouses over (onMouseOver) my image or
link OR when one clicks while holding the left mouse down (onClick) on
the same image or link. Upon releasing the mouse (onMouseOut), the
status bar should be 'blank'. I need the link to open in a new window
via my function openWindow(URL) code.

What is happening in most of the six scenarios, is that when one
clicks the link, either the function doesn't engage, but rather the <a
href= takes effect instead OR that status bar shows
'javascript:openWindow('http://www.symantec.com/');' when one clicks
while holding the left mouse down (onClick) on the image or link.

Additionally, for only the link, I need the CSS/style to show 'red'
when one mouses over (onMouseOver) it and then change to 'blue' upon
releasing the mouse (onMouseOut).

How about integrating 'style="cursor:hand"' into the code or perhaps
setting some of the data via a <div> or <span> snippet? Code:

I want to add a small but informative weather widget to one of my web sites. Having searched around, most are either too big or too simple.

I did find "one" that I liked but it links to a lame page. I would rather have no link rather than the one provided. The widget I like is a simple javascript "include file" similar to this one:

Hide Specific Href In Anchor?

I'm using a script that has the back-end functionality mashed up so I can't change it. An image with a link around it hides behind this:

$RateUserThumbnailLink$ And i'd like to disable the link somehow as the owner wants money for the edit which is ridiculous. Can anyone figure out a way of disabling the link it generates?

JQuery :: Click Function Of Anchor Tag Not Working With Href Other Than #?

Jul 25, 2011

I started with the simplest step - the hide() function:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("a#p").click(function(event){
$("#HiddenDiv").hide();
})
});

It worked fine as long as the href attribute of the anchor tag was '#'. Then I tried using href other than '#' and ran into a problem. I just changed the href to:

<a id="p" href="test.php">Click me</a><br />
<div id="HiddenDiv">Testing mate</div>

test.php is the page in which both these sections (html and jquery) are present, so like a postback to the same page.

This method didn't work and on clicking the anchor tag, the div stayed visible.

I then tried theevent.preventDefault(); method and that worked.

So I experimented more. I tried using the hide function on a dynamic link, something like test.php?a=1.

I ran into a problem again. The div remained visible on clicking that link.

Right, so there are a bunch of links in this format: <a href="/profiles/########">username</a>

Calling An Anchor In The Parent Page From The Iframe

Mar 20, 2009

i have a page containing an iframe somewhere in the middle of it. the iframe stretche to the end of the page and its height is calculated from its content with javascript.

i want some of the pages i load into the iframe to have a "back to top" link at the bottom. but i can not put the anchor inside my iframe because my iframe doesn't start at the top of the page.

so i put the name linke of the anchor at the top of the parent page which has the iframe inside. but i couldn't find a way to call that anchor from within the iframe.

i'm sure this could be done with a simple code of javascript. how do i get to the parent frame within the iframe?

Way To Have Two Onclick Events Within One Anchor Tag?

Jul 20, 2011

I'm filling in for a coworker on a radio stations website.

The station currently streams live online. I want to add an event tracking so I can track how many people are streaming. I'm really new to js, but I think I figured it out (keyword is "think"). However, there was already an onclick event within the anchor tag. Can I have two in the same tag? Is there a better way to do this?

Using An Anchor In OnClick Alert?

Sep 25, 2011

To order a customized product from my site, the user has to upload an image and then submit text (separate steps but part of the same php form) before adding to their cart. Currently, the user must scroll back down from the top of the page to the next part of the form after each step which is more confusing than I would like.

The first step of the form uses a straight forward <form> and I was able to add an action="#anchor" to jump down to where I set the first anchor.

The second step is regrettably not so straight forward and I'm having trouble adding an anchor. After entering text, the user clicks a submit button which triggers an alert letting them know the text was submitted successfully. When the user clicks the okay button on the popup alert, I would like the page to jump down to the 'add to cart' portion.

This is the button:

echo '<tr>
<td valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">
<input id="delete_button" class="button" type="submit" value="Attach Text" onclick="return( confirm( this.form ) );" />

[Code]....

How can I prevent the page from returning to the top after the user submits text?

JQuery :: Anchor Tag OnClick With A Parameter?

Feb 4, 2011

I am trying to call an ajax function from the onclick event of an anchor tag. Currently I reference the function like this. I would have liked to bind the function to the anchor tag but did not know how to do that when I need to pass in a parameter?

<a href="#" onClick="getCredentialFromId(${link.id})">${link.name}</a>

link.id and link.name are rendered on the serverside so when the page is rendered it looks like this:

<a onclick="getCredentialFromId(35)" href="#">MySQL</a>

my function looks like this:

function getCredentialFromId(cred_id) {
$.post('link.htm?linkCredentials',{cred_id: cred_id},function(response) {
try {

JQuery :: Keeping Tabs With "a Href=#sometabname" From Scrolling To The Anchor?

Sep 13, 2010

I have a set of vertical tabs about a quarter of the way down my page. They are all visible on page load from the top of the browser window. When you click on a tab, it scrolls down and puts the tab content at the top of the window. I know why it does this, is there anyway to override this behavior so that the tabs change content but the window does not scroll?

JQuery :: Matching All Anchor Tags With "http://" In The Href Attribute

Apr 19, 2010

I want to be able to match all <a> tags on a Web page that are external links, which would be signified by the href attribute starting with "http://", obviously. Then I want to add an attribute to the matching tags.

I ran across this script that is supposed to do that:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a[href^=http://]').attr('target','_blank');
});
</script>

But it doesn't work. I don't understand regex very well yet, so I'm not sure if that part of it is right, but the jQuery syntax looks correct to my inexperienced eyes.

I know jQuery is working on the site already, the script is below the call the the jQuery library, and yes, I do have the script in the Head tag of the page...

Why Does Onclick Change The Page Anchor Position

Nov 1, 2010

I have two pieces of Javascript attached to my open/close text boxes.

One for the visibility function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle_visibility(id) {

[Code].....

The problem only shows further down the page, when I click to open a box it automatically goes back to the top of the page instead of staying at the user's current page position

I would like it to stop changing the page position onclick.

Anchor Onclick - Changing InnerHTML Of Enclosing Div?

May 11, 2010

I found a function online that allows me to swap text onclick and have amended it as follows:

Code:
function swapText(obj, n) {
if(obj.oldText){
obj.innerHTML = obj.oldText;
obj.oldText = null;

[Code]...

I have this partially achieved when clicked, any number will indeed "turn into" an h1'd representation of itself but I can't get the other links in the group to disappear when the h1'd number appears (onclick).
