How to create javascript links in CodeIgniter

Question

<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="selectedpagination"  onclick="changeuploader();">
    Try flash Uploader
</a>

If I write in anchor tag's first parameter javascript:void(0);, it will open link to controller/javascript:void(0)

Also, how do I give it the class name and onclick event?

@TechCare99 reworded things a bit, hope it still makes sense! If not, revert! — dbr, Mar 12 '12 at 13:19
It looks like that codeigniter changes your output. The `href` looks good in my eyes. What's it changed into? — hakre, Mar 12 '12 at 13:31

Easy as that:

anchor('#', 'Try flash Uploader', array('class'=>'selectedpagination', 'onclick'=>'changeuploader();'));

what about javascript:void(0) doesn't it need ? – TechCare99 Mar 12 '12 at 13:23
use # instead...I've tested and I see that even with it...it will reload the page....I'l make some more tests and report back – Mar 12 '12 at 13:24
`#` will make the browser move the view-port eventually. – hakre Mar 12 '12 at 13:30
yeah..it will...to avoid reloading the page, you can add a `return false` to your `onclick` event after your JS function. Maybe it won't work because your JS is returning something, I don't know. About move the view-port, I don't think it will be possible to solve with `anchor()`, if possible, you can create the link manually and it will work the way you need – Mar 12 '12 at 13:33
@Gerep ... Nope. Still using core PHP Code Only. – TechCare99 Mar 13 '12 at 12:15
does this link really need to be generated with PHP? – Mar 13 '12 at 14:59
does the `changeuploader` function returns something? – Mar 14 '12 at 14:29

Please stop doing <a href="javascript:void(0);" ... >. It is an extremely bad practice. And so is attaching events in HTML.

Instead you should attach events in an external JS file. PHP framework has nothing to do with this.

you are right but the thing is that he need to use the framework to create the link and the function for that need a href and TechCare needs it to ignore the click – Mar 12 '12 at 13:45
@tereško may be u r right , but surfing through stackoverflow, I came through this : [link]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/134845/href-for-javascript-links-or-javascriptvoid0 person is having 233 Ups for his answer. ::: More Confused ::: – TechCare99 Mar 12 '12 at 13:45

onclick="return false();"
$('.selectedpagination').click(function(){ //To click here });
You can use button.

I didn't find another solution instead of: $("a").removeAttr("href");
