Is there way for a link not to submit. 2

[Weese]

<FORM method=&quot;post&quot; name=&quot;MyScreen&quot; onsubmit=&quot;return false&quot; action=&quot;Myasp.ASP?WCI=MyScreen&amp;WCE=MyEvent&quot;>

<A link href=&quot; &quot; onClick=SubmitForm()>Option</A>

See in the above case, I am explictly using submit in SubmitForm function.

But in browsers like mozilla, before the page unload javascript file expires and at the moment if the users click this link, getting error in the javascript console SubmitForm not defined, but still the page gets submitted agian.this should not happen.It should submit only through SubmitForm and if not found nothing should happen.How to do?.
href=&quot; &quot; is required for hand reference.

Please someone guide in this.

Thank you Jemminger,

This really solves my problem.
I had a plan of using href=&quot;javascript:void(0)&quot;.But this creates another problem that it displays in status bar.I tried to overcome this by onMouseOver=&quot;self.status='';&quot;.But even though if we tab through the link still it appears in the status bar. But your solution really solves my problem.

thank you very much.

Weese,

Try this code :

<a
href=&quot;noJSPage.html&quot;
overMsg=&quot;Submit Form&quot;
onmouseover=&quot;window.status=this.overMsg&quot;
onfocus=&quot;window.status=this.overMsg&quot;
onmouseout=&quot;window.status=window.defaultStatus&quot;
onblur=&quot;window.status=window.defaultStatus&quot;>
Submit this form
</a>

Might seem like overkill but it should work! Gary

Gary,

you need to add &quot;return true&quot; for it to work correctly:

<a
href=&quot;noJSPage.html&quot;
overMsg=&quot;Submit Form&quot;
onmouseover=&quot;window.status=this.overMsg; return true;&quot;
onfocus=&quot;window.status=this.overMsg; return true;&quot;
onmouseout=&quot;window.status=window.defaultStatus; return true;&quot;
onblur=&quot;window.status=window.defaultStatus; return true;&quot;>
Submit this form
</a>
=========================================================
while (!succeed) try();

Is there a way like disabling a link to prevent a user click multiple times on a link and the page get submitted multiple times.

What I want is once the user clicks over the link, he should not be able to reclick.But the hyperlink should be there giving the feeling that it is a link.

User should not knows it get disabled or some thing else.

My total aim to prevent the user for clicking multiple times.

onclick=&quot;this.onclick = ''&quot; Gary
