i have a question….
using netscape only, i get a java console that pops up when someone goes
to [url]http://www.johnuher.com/portfolio.html[/url] and clicks on a thumbnail
within one of the sections….
how do i elimate that?
The console doesn’t even report errors on my current webpage im viewing
at the johnuher.com site….but tells me of other js errors from past sites ive
visited – like a history of sites.

@coobsauthorJul 16.2003 — putting href="#" does seem to have worked, thank you for the help!

May I ask what that does technically? Im interested to know how it fixed it exactly.

thanks!

@AdamGundryJul 17.2003 — If you type "javascript:" into the Mozilla/Netscape address bar, it pops up the JS console, so that's what happens when you link to it. A hash sign (#) indicates you are linking to a named anchor within the page, but if you do not put a name after the hash it will simply go nowhere. An alternative is to put "javascript:void(0);" which runs a JS statement that does nothing, but that will cause problems for browsers which do not understand Javascript.
