Like I said in the grandparent post, a better way still is to create the
link altogether in js using DOM. Something like:

<span id="link-placeholder" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var a_ele = document.createElement ( 'a );
a_ele.setAttribute( 'href', 'javascript:whatever()' );
a_ele.appendChild( document.createTextNode( 'blah' ));

var placeholder_ele = document.getElementById( "screensaver-intro" );
placeholder_ele.parentNode.replaceChild( a_ele, placeholder_ele );
</script>

Now, I think that covers all bases?
