null link in html

[mandreko]

hi there, i'm building a website, and unfortunately it has frames... i have a link, that i want someone to be able to click, but not do anything. it's not for a prank or anything like that. i really have a reason. if you don't believe me, we can talk one on one, and i'll show you what i mean... but just if you're wondering

ok.. well, i need this range of text to act like a link. i have css, so when the mouse goes over it, it's underlined. But if i try anything else, without it being a link, i can't get the rollover effect.

I don't want the link to go anywhere, because it opens a menu.

Like i said, if you need to know more, just ask, and i can show you the site, but i'd prefer not to post it here... it's for an isp, and it's in development...

have you tried just inserting an anchor tag with nothing in the href?

like so:

<a href="">salkdl;askd</a>

A: Two. One to screw it in and one to observe how the lightbulb itself symbolizes a single incandescent beacon of subjective reality in a netherworld of endless absurdity reaching out toward a maudlin cosmos of nothingness.

yeah, that didn't work

Put a single hash ('#') in the href attribute. So: <a href=#>foo</a> should work (IIRC).

well, that made it look like a link, but then the left frame showed up in the main frame...

<a nohref>
<a href="javascript:return false;"> should work also.

you can also use (in css),
.fakelink {
cursor: hand;
}

You prolly want to use <a href="#" name="foo" onclick=funcfoo()>click here</a> if you want to use the link to fire a js function or something.
