Using jQuery, is there a way to disable the click sound in IE that happens when you post?

A:
The IE click sound is a feature of the browser that you can't control from JavaScript. The only way to disable it is in System Sounds in the Control Panel.

I hate to see this get most votes if My solution solves the problem. But thats life i guess. ;) I can see that everyone vote on this one because of they know the click is a browser click, and dont know that you can fool the browser.

I wouldn't really consider yours a very stable solution. I'd call it more of a workaround. Workarounds are not maintainable

And your solution breaks other expected behavior (back/forward) and in a lot of cases, that's just not acceptable

It "may" be acceptable and sometimes desirable. But I totally understand your point and mostly agree. ;)

It may very well be possible using this solution: http://www.julienlecomte.net/blog/2007/11/30/
But in short, John is right about it being a browser sound not controlled by javascrípt or anyting else than a registry change, wich a website will not manage to do.
I know the above "trick" has worked before, so if nothing has changed it will still work.

Anyone got any idea how they are doing it on the bbc.co.uk homepage? No sounds and also no scrolling to plain "#" anchors. I would like to replicate this but not sure how they are doing it.
Thanks.
I always get a click sound on BBC on IE. You're probably using something else.
