[SOLVED] getElementById takes me to new page?

[JChilds]

I'm using

javascript:document.getElementById("QUESTION").innerHTML = "ANSWER";

 

It works perfectly. It changes the text.

BUT, a millisecond after it has changed the text, It takes e to a new page with ANSWER on it.

 

Any idea why this is happening?

Probably because you're using "javascript:" in a place where you could use an event handler.  We need to see more code to help you out.

Thats all the code there is.

I only have access to the code of one button..., So i have to use javascript:

[xtopolis]

Show us the code containing the element with the id "QUESTION"....  You're giving us not enough to go on.

[JChilds]

<td><span id="QUESTION" title="717" >3157</span> </td>

Add 'return false' to the next line after that.

That did'nt work. but it put me on the right track!

Adding  exit  worked a treat.

 

Thanks!
