All of the examples in this thread are depreciated. None of them will
degrade gracefully. You should ALWAYS use the (<a
href="action_page.html">Link</a>) Then attach an onload javascript
function that will run through all link tags and add the proper onclick
event and removing the traditional "href" properties. This way your
script will ALWAYS work even if javascript is disabled.
