Is it possible to onclick=“history.clear();”

Question

I\'m going to implement logout button in my PhoneGap application, which will return the user into authentication page (with cleared fields). For the button

Answer 1

If you use the onclick attribute, what goes in the quotes is an actual statement, not just the name of a function. So:

Also note that because you're not doing anything to prevent the default action of following the link, the browser will follow the href, which being # takes you to the top of the current page. You can prevent that (if you like) by adding a return false;:

I couldn't follow the second part of your question, but I'll just note that you don't need or want the javascript: on the onclick attribute in your second example. You only use that pseudo-protocol where a URI is expected (for instance, the href of an anchor). The content of onXYZ attributes is always code, not a URI.

Finally: Unless you're doing something with styling, both of those links are going to be pretty hard to click, what with being empty. :-)
