JavaScript function in href vs. onclick



bad:
 id="myLink" href="javascript:MyFunction();">link text
good:
 id="myLink" href="#" onclick="MyFunction();">link text
better:
 id="myLink" href="#" onclick="MyFunction();return false;">link text
even better 1:
 id="myLink" title="Click to do something" href="#" onclick="MyFunction();return false;">link text
even better 2:
 id="myLink" title="Click to do something" href="PleaseEnableJavascript.html" onclick="MyFunction();return false;">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; });
$('a').click( function() { your_code_here; return false; } );




 id="link" href="http://example.com/action">link text

Ext4 Apply Store Filtering

In extjs4.1: There are many way for store filtering .
