anchor

On using Google I found that they are using onclick events in anchor tags. In more option in google header part, it looks like normal a tag, but onclicking it doesn't get redirected but opened a menu. Normally when using <a href='more.php' onclick='show_more_menu()'>More >>></a> It usually goes to 'more.php' without firing show_more_menu() , but I have show a menu in that page itself. How to do like google ? TJHeuvel If your onclick function returns false the default browser behaviour is cancelled.

Suggestions? I am

Original Post: Is it possible for onclick within an <a> tag to call an anchor link, just as href does? In the snippet below, I have <a href="#view"> applied to all images, and <a id="close-customlightbox" class="lb-animate" href="#!"> as a return URL once each image is closed from lightbox view. Ideally, I would rather have the anchors prompted where they would not create any sort of extension to the page's URL.
