问题
I would like to know what is the difference between javascript:; and javascript:void(0); if I use them in href attribure for a anchor (link)
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="DoSomething();">Link</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="DoSomething();">Link</a>
I see them acting the same on all browsers but what is the technical difference?
Regards, Magdy
回答1:
One runs JavaScript that has no statements, the other runs JavaScript that evaluates the statement 0 and then returns undefined.
Neither should be used.

I agree with David that neither should be used. The javascript pseudo-protocol can put the page into a waiting state in some browsers, which can have unexpected consequences. As one example, I spent hours trying to debug a web app that was crashing IE6 whenever someone clicked a javascript: link soon after the page loaded. It turned out that the page entering the waiting state was conflicting with a Flash movie trying to initialize. I solved the problem by replacing the link with one in this format:
<a href="#" onclick="DoSomething(); return false;">Link</a>
The "return false" prevents the link from actually being followed.

Only that the latter javascript:void(0); is more readable and an accepted convention that says this code does nothing.
It's worth noting that industry standards have come a long way regarding this syntax. You should look into Progressive Enhancement.
