It's a good idea to use "return false" eg. onclick="functionName();return
false"
this way the browser doesn't try to go to whatever is specified in the href
when the link is clicked.
If the onclick calls a submit function then you have effectively asked the
browser to go to the href and the action of whatever form you are
submitting.

This applet has been helpful to me in obtaining IP addresses...even when
the user is going through a Frame relay or behind a firewall. Not pure
javascript but I think you will find it works much more accurately. You
will have to make a small modification to pass the IP value back as a form
field.
Hope this helps...

Subject: [Javascript] Obtain IP number
Is there a way of, by javascript, obtaining a user's IP number and include
it with the results of
a web form? The user enters his name, e-mail etc into the form but I'd also
like to get the IP number...
Regards,
L Johansson

hi,
I always used to call my scripts like this:
<a href=3D"#" onclick=3D"myFunction();">click here</a>
but have recently found this is causing problems with IE5
the workaround has been to do this:
<a href=3D"javascript:myFunction();">click here</a>
is this the correct way to call scripts or are both methods acceptable?
just wondering if I've been doing things wrong all this time,
thanks
anthony

There's a bug in IE 5.0 that requires you to use <a href="javascript:etc">
when submitting a form through JavaScript. The onClick simply won't work.
But I've never seen this bug creep up in other circumstances.
In any case it's solved in IE 5.5

There's a bug in IE 5.0 that requires you to use <a =
href=3D"javascript:etc">=20
when submitting a form through JavaScript. The onClick simply won't =
work.=20
But I've never seen this bug creep up in other circumstances.
In any case it's solved in IE 5.5
