title: Anchor Tag with onclick/JavaScript attribute. Stop refreshing page in I.E
body: <p>I have a HTML/JavaScript project that holds a few dozen anchor tags; each of the anchor tags calls the same JavaScript function, but with a different parameter. </p>
  
  <p>Everything looks good in Firefox and Chrome, but in Internet Explorer (IE) the page seems to reload (flicker) every time I click an anchor tag (like the one shown below). How can I make IE stop reloading/flickering? I would prefer not to rewrite the whole script. I have tried onclcick='javascript... and href='javascript...,but both have the same problem (although onclick seems a little better).</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a onclick='javascript:foo(22)'&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 
  </code></pre>
