I dont understand this code

[damindor]

<script language=?JavaScript?>

function linkSomePage_onclick()

{

alert(?You Clicked??);

return true;

}

</script>

<A href=?somepage.htm? name=?linkSomePage?

onclick=?return linkSomePage_onclick()?>

 

I dont understand how the return statement or whatever its called works here

 

you click on the link the Linksomepage function is called where does the return statement or whatever its called come into this

If you return false the browser will stop the propagation of the event. So the link would not be followed.

 

However that mechanism is outdated.
