shift button

[Mariusz]

Hi,
I would like to use shift button to select multiple rows in table but there
seems to be problem with it. I have table rows inside the <a> tag so I can
drag them and drop like in windows explorer. I would like to mimic also
explorer style of selecting multiple rows using the shift button. But when i
click on one of my rows using shift button then rows are selected but new
windows is also opened - and I would like to prevent this kind of action. Is
it possible?

regards
Mariusz

<tr> elements are not allowed inside <a> elements in any version of HTML I
know. This means your page does not validate (see http://validator.w3.org/
and run your page through it). This means browsers may interpret your HTML
very differently, leading to unpredictable results and failing scripts.
Also, modern browsers allow script to add dragging behaviour to virtually
any element. No need for <a> tags at all here.

Sounds like you forgot to return false from the event handler. That is the
usual way to prevent the href being followed when a link is clicked. For
more specific tips, it might help to see the actual code, or an url.
