How do i retrieve the href value without FQDN being appended

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 03.2006

All,
Have a quick question.

I have a link as such:

[code=html]<a href=”#”>Some Link</a>[/code]

I bind an onclick event to it which is:

[code=html]alert(this.href);[/code]

What I get back is something like “http://localhost/file.php#”.

What I want to see is just the hash mark (To decide whether it is an anchor/js caller/etc or a real valid link). Is there another property that does not append the FQDN to the href value?

Thanks!

@_Aerospace_Eng_Nov 03.2006 — What is it that you are trying to do? What would it matter of whether or not its an anchor, js call, or valid link?

&lt;title&gt;Test Link&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt;
function checkLink(url) {
if (url.indexOf("#") != -1) {
alert("it's an anchor");
} else if (url.indexOf("javascript:") != -1) {
alert("it's a call to a javascript function");
} else {
alert("it's a normal URL");
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;a href="#" onclick="checkLink(this.href);"&gt;anchor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="checkLink(this.href);"&gt;js call&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/" onclick="checkLink(this.href);"&gt;normal link&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

Success!
