I have a link (href) which leads to "javascript:void(0)" . It should do nothing
when followed, but Mozilla displays an empty page. It does nothing under NS4 or
IE4, IE5

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a page with a href pointing to somewhere
2.Change the href location by JavaScript to "javascript:void(0)"
3.When you click on a such a link, a blank page is displayed. It should do
nothing.

Actual Results:  Blank page is displayed instead of ignoring the link.							

Expected Results:  Nothing. / link is ignored
