how to make a link click to stay on same page

href, javascript

Solution

If you have no need for the href, return false onclick or use a JavaScript href:

<area href="/?22" onclick="return false" shape="poly" coords="438,388,561,211">

<area href="javascript:void(0)" shape="poly" coords="338,43,61,21">

If you DO need to load the href, use Ajax or add a named iframe and target it:

<area href="/?22" target="Iframe" shape="poly" coords="438,388,561,211">

...

<iframe name="Iframe" style="display:none"></iframe>

Problem

I have the following code: ``` <area href="/?22" shape="poly" coords="438,388,561,211"> <area href="/?23" shape="poly" coords="338,43,61,21"> ``` when it's clicked the link send the "signal" and working fine, but the page change to: ``` http://192.168.0.177/?22 ``` or ``` http://192.168.0.177/?23 ``` and I want to keep the page to: ``` http://192.168.0.177 ``` it's there a way/hack to click the link to send the signal but the page remain and of course to not refresh? Thank you so much!
