Hi,

Normally, a piece of code such as

a href="http://www.yahoo.com" onclick="alert('hello');return
false;">link</a

will stop the browser from actually going to href's destination.
However, this is not the case with the IE7 I am using. What has
changed?

You have a newline after 'return', so javascript will insert a semicolon

before 'false'. Try taking out the newline and it works fine.
