HTML anchor tag with Javascript onclick event

by

If your onclick function returns false the default browser behaviour is cancelled. As such:

<a href="http://www.google.com" onclick='return check()'>check</a>

<script type="text/javascript">

function check()
{
    return false;
}

</script>

Either way, whether google does it or not isn’t of much importance. It’s cleaner to bind your onclick functions within javascript – this way you separate your HTML from other code.
