    <p>Okay so this one has some similar threads but I couldn't find anything that nailed it on the head, so here we go.</p> <p>I'm trying to simulate a link using the anchor tag, like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a onClick="javascript: DownloadPorn();"&gt;Click Here!&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>All of this works fine and dandy; the link shows, I can click it, and my javascript method is successfully executed.</p> <p>The question here, is how can I correctly force the link to display in the 'same manner' as an actual 'HTML Link'? Or rather, in the 'same manner' as if I were to have an href in the above mentioned tag; like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="#" onClick="javascript: DownloadMorePorn();"&gt;Click Here!&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now... THIS Code snippet forces the link to display in the manner that I expect it to, but in using this method, when a link is clicked, the scroll location is bounced back to the top.</p> <p>It's probably clear, that this is not an intended behavior for the framework I am trying to develop. If anyone has any suggestions to overcome this particular issue, I would greatly appreciate your input.</p> <p>--- While typing this all up, I considered that I could place a static anchor at the top of the screen( say 0,0 or -,- ), and force all of my links to reference that anchor. If anyone sees any viability in this solution, I'm likely to explore it.</p> <p>--- Edited ---</p> <p>Accepted Answer:</p> <p>In order to have an anchor behave as a hyperlink, without manipulating the browsers current position; utilize a Javascript method returning nothing(?) in the href attribute, or a valid return of 'false' in one of the alternate event handlers for an anchor, I.E. the onClick method.</p> <p>Possible solutions:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="javascript: DoSomething();"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="javascript: void(0);" onClick="javascript: DoSomething();"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#" onClick="javascript: DoSomething(); return false;"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks again, everyone.</p> <p>--- End Edit --- </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
