If using an onclick event handler to execute javascript when an anchor
element is clicked on, what should the href attribute be? #?
javascript:void (0)? Something else?

So for those users without javascript, it
doesn't have a chance to return false ((since none of the script will
run at all)), and will "fall through" and do the hyperlink action.
In compliant browsers, that situation can be alleviated by setting the href to the name of an anchor placed at the top
of the body element, like:
<BODY>
<A name='screenTop ' style="position :fixed;top:0;vi sibility:hidden ">.</A>
....
Then for relevant links: <A href='#screenTo p' ...
The position of the anchor will always be the current scrolled position, so if the href has to be followed, the page
does not scroll.
You can create the same effect, and have it work in IE, by adding an
Anchor before/after each link.
<a name="thisLink" >
<a href="#thisLink ">.....</a>
But better is to have JS create links/buttons that are JS dependent.
Then, the non-JS people never know it doesn't work because they never
see it.

It's not quite the same effect, as the page scrolls to position the target anchor at the top of the screen.
You don't need a separate anchor, the link can refer to itself:
<a name='thisLink' href="#thisLink ">.....</a>

Is it possible to achieve a hover effect for a non-anchor tag in CSS?
I can use the following code, but it goes against the grain:
<a href="" onclick="return false;">Label</a>
Surely there must be a 'proper' way of doing it?
Thanks
Chris

I call this a weird problem because I can't find anything on it over the internet.

Thank you in advance for your help on this one.
I'm using named anchor tags on a FAQ page with questions listed at the top and answers below; a standard jump-to feature. However, anytime an anchor tag link is used, whether it be a question down to an answer or an answer back to the list of questions, I lose the banner div, a good portion of of my MenuDv disappears, and white space is added to the bottom of my page. You can see my FAQ page...
