Javascript onclick links

overriding html <a href ="#none"...

[Tidal2]

I use anchor links with Javascript like -

<a href="#none" onclick="Javascript:displayImage('...')" target="_blank"><img ...><p>Larger Version.</a>

Sometimes without the text 'Larger Image' too.

Is this consider cloaking or bad practise?

I'm not sure what this accomplishes, but it's definitely not cloaking.

Thanks,

I'm just searching for possibilities as I lost 90-95% of Googles traffic since early June in the 'American Whisky' update. Not commercial, but I would like to know or at least have some idea why.

The anchor link does does two things:-

1. Scroll to the top of page in this case because there is no valid <a name="none"> anchor on the page, if there was a valid anchor name link in IE it would bring it to the top of page if it was off screen.

2. Load a pop-up window with the larger image, when you click on the image or the text 'larger image'. Just an option if you want a bigger picture without downloading it onto the page.

By "American Whiskey" I'm guessing you mean the "Bourbon" update :)

I don't think the javascript would cause you problems with Google.
