At the bottom that website, there is some text: 'Check Your Screen Resolution Here!' Click that and a pop up message will tell you your exact screen size!
This is the code for it:

Code:

<a href="javascript:alert('Your resolution is '+screen.width+'x'+screen.height);">Text Goes Here!</a>

A pretty simple code and probably not even majorly required but atleast you can have this cool feature on your website!
Thanks for viewing this thread

Were you expecting for a response?

Anyway, let me poke myself in, and give you some feedback.

1. javascript pseudo-url is deprecated and shouldn't be advocated. Also, it will make your page invalid.

2. How would that link go when the user has JS disabled? They will see a dead link. I suggest you write that part of the markup with JS too so that when users has JS disabled, they wouldn't see that part of your page.

What is there to reply to? You're not asking a question and if people are using it they're clearly not having problems.

What is the "correct" way of doing it? onClick?

Yes Flabby.

The main purpose of using javascript pseudo-url is just to cancel the tags (<a>) native behavior - which is redirection.

To cancel the tags nature behavior, we can add return false at the end of the code, or use DOM's preventDefault().

Hope that makes sense.
