Javascript:Void(0) not working in Mozilla

Question

I have an anchor tag as below ... I want to use anchor onclick event instead of href tag (which is a common practice)

JavaScript

<a href="Javasscript:void(0);"  önclick="javascript:showCandidates()"><%#Eval("TotalAssignedExams")%></a>

Above code only works fine in Chorme and DOES NOT WORKS IN MOZILLA, IE, OPERA and SAFARI browser.

Upon clicking the link it opens child popup as desire but parent popup navigates to "javasscript:void%280%29;" and gives message on browser "The address wasn't understood"

Tried such alternative on GOOGLE, but it all points to using Javasscript:void(0);in href.

Thanks in advance...

Solution 1

If your JavaScript returns false it will cancel the default behavior of the anchor element.

HTML

<a href="#" onclick="showCandidates()">Candidates</a>

JavaScript

function showCandidates()
{
  // code goes here
  return false;
}

(Why don't use input element?)

Thanks it worked...
Not using input element because I have to show count of total candidates and upon clicking that count will show detailed report for candidates...
