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?

The security, I presume. That must be against the common trick "show
one URL in status bar, go to another one that mimics it". I guess you
may turn it off somewhere but you cannot expect it from your visitors.

If it is what I'm thinking it is, the psi-links of a kind
<a href="noscript.html" onclick="myFunction(); return false;">Select
all</a> is another thing to say bye-bye sooner is better (the first one
is "holly hack")
