When you have an <a> that is made interactive via JS, is it best to do href="javascript:void(0)" or is leaving the href out entirely better?

@pamelafox i prefer href="#"… if JS is taking over, you can cancel the event properly with `preventDefault`.

@getify Hm. I am doing preventDefault(). Still sticking the #. Yeah I thought leaving out the href had some different behavior.

@pamelafox @getify I think link pseudo classes like hover and focus won't work if no href.

@stubbornella @pamelafox @getify That's true for :hover and :active in quirks mode only (in at least some browsers). Not in standards mode.
