Ok, i'm having problem getting this to work in firefox

this is a captcha i made using a devshed tutorial. this function is used to reload.


i'm using the following to call the function in an href


this works perfect in chrome and in ie as well.

however i can't get it to work in firefox.

as a work around, i'm using which works in firefox, but it refreshes the entire page in all 3 browsers and looks unproffesional in my opinion.


i need to find a work around for this in 5 days or less. The site is ready for production and the owner has signed off on it, but i think i could do this a little better. i don't know much about ajax or jquery. i need a crash course or atleast a work around for this problem.

should be
    return false;
not
    return: false;


That should prevent the page reload.  If not, try using setTimeout to call reloadCaptcha in the onclick attribute.

ok, thanks for the response. i will try your suggestions.

edit: i tried both methods, even with placing the reloadCaptcha inside the setTimeout but its still giving the same result but with it seems to be decreasing page load speeds

What about it doesn't work? Not to be snarky but why are you asking here and not stackoverflow?

Maybe try putting a # in your href.

<a href="#" onclick="reloadCaptcha()">

No ; at the end.

Better way if you want to use jQuery:

$("#linkid").click(reloadCaptcha);

If "return false;" is not preventing the page reload then an error is occurring in the javascript that executes before it reaches the return statement.
