..I have a link on my webpage, upon clicking of which, I want some stuff to happen (without a refresh, ie. on THAT page). This is my code:

<div id="myid" align="center">
			<a href='javascript:document.getElementById("myid").addEventListener("click", function(event) {
	event.preventDefault();
alert("clicked");
	}


Now when I click, nothing happens! Then if I click AGAIN, the "clicked" box pops up! - I want it to popup on the FIRST click, obviously. What's going wrong?



Thanks.
