Yes, If javascript is disabled there will be no change to the page and
the original href="actionpage.html" link will be executed. But if
javascript is enabled then the onload will run thus removing all
original conventional href locations and replacing them with javascript
actions. Here is a more precise example you were probably looking for.
For accessibility degradable javascript is the way to go.
