No really sure what you mean here?

If you don’t supply an onlick=“…” nothing will happen. If you’re wanting to call a function that will itself decide whether it should do something or not, based on some other application state, then you would write a function, and put onclick=“myfunction();” instead. The code in the fuction ‘myfunction’ would then need to be able to apply the logic to do something, or not.

If that is not what you mean, please explain…

Thanks for the reply…i put the onclick=“javascript:return false;” but is there a way that on the main link <a href=‘#’ onclick=“javascript:return false;”>User Maintenance</a> that the below sub-link will not navigate. or i must put the said js code on every link to disable the link.


<li><a href='#' onclick="javascript:return false;">User Maintenance</a>
<ul><li ><a href='Users.php' target='body'>View User</a></li>
<li><a href='Viewuser.php' target='body'>Edit User</a></li><
<li><a href='passchange.php' target='body'>Reset Password</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
