Mouseover without onclick

I am using mouseover text links to change images in a photo gallery. I would like to disable the onclick event. I do not want the user to be able to click on the link. Any suggestions as to where I might find the code to accomplish this?

The are a couple of things that you could do

1. You don't actually need to use links, most elements (for instance span or div) support the mouse over event. You could use a non-link element for your mouse overs. If you want them to look like links then you can use CSS to style them look that way.

2. If you want to carry on using links then add[html] onclick="return false;"[/html] to all the links.
