I have this ajax function:
function getSearchResults(e) {
            var searchString = e.value;
            /*var x = e.keyCode;
            var searchString = String.fromCharCode(x);*/
            if (searchString == "") {
                document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = "";
                return;
            }
            var xmlhttp;
            if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
                xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
            }
            else {// code for IE6, IE5
                xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            }
            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
                if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
                    document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
                }
            }
            xmlhttp.open("GET", "<%=Page.ResolveUrl("~/template/searchHelper.aspx?searchString=")%>"+searchString, true);
            xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", "Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT"); //solve any AJAX caching problem(not refreshing)
            xmlhttp.send();
        }
and here is when I call it:
<input class="text-input" value="SEARCH"  id="searchbox" onkeyup="javascript:getSearchResults(this);" maxlength="50" runat="server" />
and all my links in the searchHelper.aspx file(which retruns them as a string) are like this:
<a class="item" href='../src/actors.aspx?id=77&name=dasdassss&type=a' > <span class="item">dasdassss</span></a>  
When I click this link I want my website to go to ../src/actors.aspx?id=77&name=dasdassss&type=a but nothing happens. 
When I hover over the link, it also shows me where the link is about to redirect!
any help?
