Disappearing Child Nodes

cah2240

I am working on dynamic page changes using the DOM. However when I run the
following code, the new child nodes don't last. They flash for a second on
the page and then disappear. I would understand if I was removing nodes,
but I am not. Any clue guys?

<script type="text/javascript">
function gettitle(nameoftitle){
var x = document.getElementById('htitle');
var y = document.createTextNode(nameoftitle.firstChild.nod eValue);
if(!x.firstChild){
x.appendChild(y);
}else{
x.firstChild.nodeValue = nameoftitle.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
}
</script>
<body>
<h1 id="htitle"></h1>
<a href="" onClick="gettitle(this)">index</a> <a href=""
onClick="gettitle(this)">testing</a>
</body>

You need to return false from the onclick handlers or the browser will
still follow the link.

Thank you for the hint. I found that it was the href="" was the problem. I
will however keep that in mind during further development.
