Javascript:void(0)

If I select a username in some forum, then drag it to the editing window, I get text that looks lke this:
javascript:void(0)
Is that normal behavior. These little things make Safari most irratating, you can't easily copy the link text. I would send in a bug report but don't know how. The Debug menu has no place for a bug report.

Normal yes, desirable? prob not eh
some sites use javascript to execute a link function, and the url will appear to be javascript:void(0), just as you've seen; rather than the more familiar http://www.xxx.yyy.net

Javascript:void(null) error while saving a request

Hi All,
I am not able to save/open a request in Answers.
Whenever I click on 'save request' or 'open request' button on the top right corner of the screen on the Answers page, it displays javascript:void(null) and do not prompt me to save or open a request.
Issue is when I am using Internet Explorer as a web browser. However everything works fine when it's (Answers) accessed through Mozilla Firefox.
Also the issue only occurs when OBIEE is configured for SSO and I am accessing OBIEE link through Portal.
I followed all the steps as on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308260, just to find that the issue is not with IE.
Could anyone tell me plese if it's something to do with OBIEE.
Any help on the same will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Deepak

Have you tried it with IE6 or IE8?
Can you try enabling notification about all javascript errors: (Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> click "Display a notification about every script error")
That it works on Firefox suggests that it is a problem with IE
You could dig around a bit with a javascript debugger: http://www.jonathanboutelle.com/mt/archives/2006/01/howto_debug_jav.html
Does it work if you go into Answers directly, not through the portal?

Links that open a new window with javascript:void(null); do not work in 3.1

I've been noticing that any site I go to that opens content in a new window with "javascript:void(null);" will be ignored by Safari 3.1. The links work in Firefox and used to work in Safari as well. Any suggestions?

General rule of thumb in the Mac universe...
When Safari is updated most if not all third party add-ons break. That's because most don't play by the rules. The developer thinks they know how to do it better than Apple so they just do it their way. So the first rule of survival is to KNOW what you have installed on your machine at all times. Use something like textedit to create a document listing all of the third party stuff you have installed and religiously update the list. Second rule is to wait a few days before applying an update. Third rule is to visit your third party developers' sites and make sure their little gadget is compatible with the new Safari update.
Being aware of things will make life much easier for you in the long run.

I am unable to save plug-in gadgets in Blogger because I get a Javascript:void(0) message on pop-up window. Pop-up blocker is disabled, cache cleared. Help?

I am trying to add a plug-in gadget to my blogger blog. They use a pop-up window to configure the gadget and then a save button. When I am ready to save the plug-in I see a tiny message in the lower left of the pop-up window which says " Javascript:void(0)". I click "save" but the operation is not fully completed. Here is the strange part. The plug in does appear on my blog but I cannot edit it from the blog. When it was first installed, I could edit the plug-in but the changes would not be saved. Now I cannot edit as no editing buttons appear.
I have cleared my cache, have exempted the Blogger site from my pop-up blocker. I have rebooted. My Firefox plug-ins are all up to date. I have contacted the support for the company that makes the plug-in, they can't fix it. I tried to contact Google but that help pop-up box also did not work properly as it only allows me to sign in but then nothing more happens.
I don't want to have to refresh Firefox unless I have to... rebuilding what I have is going to take a lot of time.

I am trying to click on a 'zoom' button to enlarge a table or photo but nothing happens other than "javascript:void(null)" appearing in bottom left corner of Firefox window. How can I correct this?

There are a few tables and photos on the left that I need to zoom into but nothing happens. All I get is the text "javascript:void(null)" in the bottom left corner of my Firefox window.

Javascript:void(0) error after clicking buttons in my trips and expenses

Hi All,
I have implemented EHP2 and activated FIN_TRAVEL_1, now I am getting all the ABAP webdynpro iviews.
BUT when i go to "my trips and expenses" and try to click any button there like; create travel request, plan, exit, etc...
than I get the message at the bottom left of page "javascript:void(0)"
but when i actually go tarvel and expenses-->create new - Create Travel Request than i can create a new request and same is the case with create new plan and create expense report.
Now in none of the screen Display form does not work, even exit, cancel button do work.
I searched for this in form and found that this might be probably due to missing roles so I gave the following roles but still the same error:
SAP_FI_TV_ADMINISTRATOR
SAP_FI_TV_ADVANCE_PAYER
SAP_FI_TV_MANAGER_GENERIC
SAP_FI_TV_TRAVEL_ASSISTANT
SAP_FI_TV_TRAVEL_MANAGER
SAP_FI_TV_TRAVELER
SAP_FI_TV_WEB_APPROVER
SAP_FI_TV_WEB_ASSISTANT
SAP_FI_TV_WEB_POLICY_ADMIN
SAP_FI_TV_WEB_TRAVELER
Plz given in your responses in this regards.

Hi All,
Sorry for the late response....was actually really busy with my ess implementation...so i thought that i would update my forum once everything is working fine...
coming back to error:
the issue was probably with the host name...
explanation:
i was accessing my portal with [http://hostname:50000/irj/portal] which usually we do in normal scenario,
but what i found was that when i was using EHP2 for travel module the screen were designed in abap webdynpro and on clicking any of the links i use to get javascript:void(0)....
so after doing some RnD what i found is that if i access my portal with FQDN i.e: [http://hostname.domainname.com:50000/irj/portal] that the system understands the proper script to launch...
plz update me if my understanding is wrong....
Thanks & Regards,
JJ.

I use noscript and when clicking on "print" on newspaper articles or links to social networks I get javascript:void(null) error and nothing happens. ???

If I am reading an article on, example, the Indy Star website, and there is a button to print, I see this javascript:void(null) error message in the lower corner and nothing happens. If I go to noscript and keep "temporarily allowing all pages" eventually it will print. The same goes with trying to put an article, again say off the Indy Star website, on my Facebook page, I get the same error and have to follow the same routine (temp allow all pages) before it finally works. Any suggestions?

Yes, if you block JavaScript by using the NoScript extension, JavaScript print buttons aren't going to work until you allow JavaScript for the particular domain that print button is for.
You should study the NoScript features and learn how to use that extension. 
http://noscript.net/features
It is a very powerful extension which adds a good deal of security to Firefox, but there is a steep learning curve, and when you first start using it you need to set up the whitelist for web sites that you frequently visit.

Javascript:void(null) error on clicking OBIEE prompts

Hi Gurus,
I have an OBIEE application with four tabs. It was working fine earlier but now when I click on any tabs in the 1st page of the application (even the "Page options" tab in the top right corner), am getting Javascript:void(null) error in the left bottom corner of the page and nothing is happening means the page is not at all navigating. I tried by disabling the pop-up blocker also, even then am getting the same error. Can anyone provide me a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

Hi Evgeniy,
Thanks for your reply. But that doesnt solve my issue. I cross-verified all the .js files used in the 1st page of my OBIEE application and am sure no modifications had been done in any of the .js files. Is anything else causing this issue. Kindly help. Thanks alot.

I am trying to order products online but when I click on the product to be ordered I get a message in left bottom of screen javascript:void(0); what is this and how do I fix it?

No more details. Just the javascript:void(0); that appears each time I try to click on the product I'm trying to order

Recently when I try to perform a function on a certain website I get an error message that says "javascript void" and I can't go any further. What can I do?

The specific function that produces this error message (the only one so far) is when trying to cancel an order on HSN.com. This is something I have done many times in the past with no problems.

This can also happen if you block JavaScript as the javascript:void; message is a placeholder and the real action is done via an onclick event tied to this button.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

SSRS Action URL via javascript:void(window.open doesn't work in IE

Hi,
I am using the following code to open "google.com.au"
in a pop-up window through SSRS Report -> Action -> URL
="javascript:void(window.open('"+
"http://www.google.com.au/" +
"','_blank','scrollbars=true,status=true'))"
The script work fine in Chrome and FireFox but not IE ( we are using IE 11.0 ), any idea what's going wrong?
( When we click on it ; Nothing appear in IE )
Thanks.

Hi Yu,
1. We are using SQL Server SSRS 2008 R2 in IE 11.0.9600.17501 environment ( Means we already have the latest IE 11 Patch )
2. Did you try put in Javascript in SSRS Cell -> Placeholder Properties -> Action -> URL?
i.e. ="javascript:void(window.open('"+ "http://www.google.com.au/" + "','_blank','scrollbars=true,status=true'))"
3. All reports are having the same phenomenon.
4. I used F12 and tried IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10 all same ( ALL couldn't POP UP window ).
5. Please refer to attachment, I found out that when I go to Cell -> Right click -> Inspect Element & change
target="_top" to
target="_self" then the problem gone.
BUT... how to set target="_self" in SSRS?
Regards,
Frank

What does "javascript:void(0);" mean; iget it when i click on a menu option to do something and nothing gets done?

I'm not even sure this is a Firefox issue; on Epicurious.com there is an option to add a recipe to your recipe box. I've used it many times and it always worked, but since I upgraded to the newest Firefox I click on that link and the window at the bottom of the screen says "javascript:void(0); - and nothing happens. I'm using Windows XP pro.

javascript:void(0); in a link is usually a placeholder for an onclick action that is done by clicking the link. 
It is possible that the onclick JavaScript isn't compatible with Firefox 5 and needs updating.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Javascript void with all my browsers

i started using some java based sites and they worked fine but one day alot of the sites i used no longer would comply with whatever id click or some pages wouldnt load at all and i get a Javascript::void(0) message at the bottom of the screen. ive enabled java in all 3 of my browsers, ive removed ad blockers with friefox and updated and downgraded java several times. im not to sure what to do at this point.
im up to date with everything.

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

I get a a message "javascript: void (0)" when I turn on online radio. This problem is related also with other browsers. I reinstalled java but nothing changed

This problem is related also with chrome, opera and explorer. I reinstalled java but nothing changed

To avoid confusion:

Note the javascript: void(0); is often use as a placeholder URL to indicate that an onclick event is tied to the link to do the actual action. 
If JavaScript is blocked for some reason then this javascript: void(0); links comes into view.
Make sure that you do not block JavaScript.

Also make sure that your security software isn't blocking JavaScript if it happens in other browsers as well.

On certain pages of a website, get a Javascript:void(0) in status bar and no response to the action but clicking on same object works in IE. I am not a developer, just a user and I don't like IE!

When I click on some buttons on certain pages of certain websites, there is no response and "javascript:void(0)" is flashed in the status bar; then "Done". When I click on same button on same site/page in IE, it works fine. Have detailed one site/page but this is not the only one. I am not a developer, just a user, so please keep it simple!

Such links usually have an onclick attribute that does the actual action. 
Make sure that you do not block [[JavaScript]]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
