JavaScript function in href vs. onclick

Question

I want to run a simple JavaScript function on a click without any redirection.

Is there any difference or benefit between putting the JavaScript call in the hr

Answer 1

bad:

link text

good:

link text

better:

link text

even better 1:

link text

even better 2:

link text

Why better? because return false will prevent browser from following the link

best:

Use jQuery or other similar framework to attach onclick handler by element's ID.

$('#myLink').click(function(){ MyFunction(); return false; });
