different approachto call a method

[kadnan]

Hi

i have found and used different approach to call a method on some Event

for instance

<input type=text onClick=javascript:myFunc()>
Or
<input type=text onClick=myFunc()>
or
<input type=text onClick="return myFunc()">

is there any Difference in it

1) That one's a bit pointless (unless, perhaps VBScript is also being used - I dunno), and possibly "harmful"
[gazingus.org...]

2) Fine. (Might as well get into the habit of quoting your attribute values though)

3) This can be useful, on certain elements. If the function returns

false

, the default click action will not be executed. For instance:

function something()
{
    return Math.random() > 0.5;
}
-----------
<a href="example.htm" onclick="return something();">
This link will only take you somewhere sometimes</a>
