Does anyone know how not to launch a new window?
In other words I have a link that I would like to just go
no where and die off with out a new browser window. So no _blank _new _self _top etc. I'm thinking along the lines of _no _null _never etc. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,

Some requests are indeed strange. Would
<a href="#">Click me</a>
be any good?

what's the point of a link to nowhere? LOL. I'm guessing it's something to try and fool a friend... or enemy LOL.
One of these two links would be a good bet:
<a href="#" onclick="return false;">Link to nowhere</a>
or
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return false;">Link to nowhere</a>
Though I'd favor the first...
Sounds like quite a few people are wondering what you'd want this for. Care to explain? ;)

Thanks to all of you that responded. I basically was going with the Jscript method, but ended up creating an <iframe> that had like no structure and could be hidden on the page. So I sent all my requests to this <frame> that I called "test".
So in the path my target ended up being "test".
Background, and I am sure there are better ways, but I needed to call a cgi script that was on a different platform (UNIX) and system all together from a windows based flash website. Sound interesting? Anyways thanks again.
