javascript:void(0)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

javascript:void(0) is a dummy function. It's part of the way java
programming works.

[[The javascript:void(0); calls a function that does nothing (actually it
evaluates 0).]]

[[When a link is clicked it takes the user to the page specified in the URL
of the HREF attribute. To prevent this from happening, use
javascript:void(0) as the value of HREF.]]

Java is not JavaScript. They are completely different languages but your
answer is correct.

I knew I was gonna get some kind of comment about my lack of knowledge on
this. ;-) I actually just forgot to type script on the end of java.

Obviously, I am no programmer. Research Librarian might be a better term.

I always wondered why I saw javascript:void(0), but never bothered to see
what it was until this thread.

I click on the item on the screen which is supposed to initiate a further
popup but nothing happens. I still do not understand any of these responses!
I'm not trying to use the instruction - it is an error that I am encoutering.
Is this an error with the particular website?

Oh ok I thought it was unwanted windows that just pops up, those could be
bad and lead to spyware infestation.

I'm not trying to use the function. It is an error that I am encountering!
When I click on the options to open certain pages, their address at the
bottom of the screen shows this error. What can I do about this?

I'm using this forum to test if I get this error here. I'm getting this error on an article. There have been additional comments since I first tried to comment so the problem must be with my settings.
