Update -- here's a test page.  Normally, this is a popup without it's  
own URL:
<http://www.realtymort.com/neighborhoods/lincolnpark/fp-530warlington/ 
studio1/popuptest.htm>

> I'm completely confused.  I have the following link that runs a  
> javascript:
> <a href="index.htm" onclick="swapImage(); return false;">
>
> (i've also tried it as:  a href="" )
>
> The "return false" should prevent loading index.htm when a user clicks  
> the link, but in IE (and it seems only in IE) it doesn't.  The script  
> runs and then the browser goes to index.htm.
>
> Does anyone know how to fix this?  I don't want the browser to go to a  
> different page!

Steve
