How to create javascript links in CodeIgniter

Question

<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="selectedpagination"  onclick="changeuploader();">
    Try flash Uploader
</a>

If I write in anchor tag's first parameter javascript:void(0);, it will open link to controller/javascript:void(0)

Also, how do I give it the class name and onclick event?

@TechCare99 reworded things a bit, hope it still makes sense! If not, revert! — dbr

It looks like that codeigniter changes your output. The href looks good in my eyes. What's it changed into? — hakre

Easy as that:

anchor('#', 'Try flash Uploader', array('class'=>'selectedpagination', 'onclick'=>'changeuploader();'));

what about javascript:void(0) doesn't it need ?

user745235 Over a year ago

use # instead...I've tested and I see that even with it...it will reload the page....I'l make some more tests and report back

# will make the browser move the view-port eventually.

user745235 Over a year ago

yeah..it will...to avoid reloading the page, you can add a return false to your onclick event after your JS function. Maybe it won't work because your JS is returning something, I don't know. About move the view-port, I don't think it will be possible to solve with anchor(), if possible, you can create the link manually and it will work the way you need

@Gerep ... Nope. Still using core PHP Code Only.

Please stop doing <a href="javascript:void(0);" ... >. It is an extremely bad practice. And so is attaching events in HTML.

Instead you should attach events in an external JS file. PHP framework has nothing to do with this.

you are right but the thing is that he need to use the framework to create the link and the function for that need a href and TechCare needs it to ignore the click

onclick="return false();"
$('.selectedpagination').click(function(){ //To click here });
You can use button.

I didn't find another solution instead of: $("a").removeAttr("href");
