HTML a href javascript void 0

  • by

HTML a href javascript void 0 can be used when we don’t want to refresh or load a new page in the browser by clicking a hyperlink. The javascript:void(0) tells the browser to “do nothing”.

href="javascript:void(0)"

javascript:void(0)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>  
    <a href = "javascript:void(0);">It will do nothing.</a>  
    <br/><br/>  
    <a href = "javascript:alert('Hello');"> Click alert </a>    
</body>  
</html>

Output:

HTML a href javascript void 0

You can use the event.preventDefault with the event handler as an alternative to JavaScript:void(0).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

  <a href="https://www.eyehunts.com" onclick="event.preventDefault();" ondblclick="alert('Task completed')">Double Click Me!</a>

</body>
</html>
