Location.href doesn't seem to work? Use "return false;"

Sometimes, people write stuff like this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="doSomething(); location.href='newPage';">Click me</a>

and wonder why IE is being stupid and not going to the page we're telling it to go. To get around the problem DON'T use a setTimeout. It's bad practice. Just add a "return false" to your onclick like so:

onclick="doSomething(); location.href='newPage'; return false;" 

Of course, it's even better to avoid writing javascript in a html file in the first place, but I'm simplifying for the sake of explaining the idea.
