Stop # appearing in URL

[StuartC]

Hey guys,

Quick question.

Im using an ajax tabs content script to switch between divs onscreen. I keep getting the # added to the url as you do when hitting the <a> tag to switch content.

Any way to stop this? as its really annoying to hit back on the browser twice.

Cheers.

Stuart

Hi, Which script are you using? Are you using a javascript library like jQuery or mootools or similar?

Can you show us a live working example?

I've encountered this before and I had to remove the href attribute on the links and then modify the javascript to load the correct tab based on other parameters... this was in jQuery.

Hi, try removing

href="#"

from the links in your tabs and see if that helps.

Cheers, but tried that earlier to no avail unfortunatley,

Change the href="#" to href="javascript:"

Maybe create a blank function so it doesn't fall over in some browsers, e.g.
href="javascriptoNothing()"

Thats worked a treat.

Cheers Tom, that was starting to do my head in.

Nice one

No problem!

Just for reference when anyone else is reading this : my last line was supposed to look like this:

href="javascript:DoNothing()"
