Use subroutines, not pages of inline code.

Write subroutines that are context-intelligent, i.e. they can tell
which event and DOM node triggered them and react accordingly, they
don't have to have a squillion parameters passed in through the inline
event handler call.

Use event listeners.

Read any modern book on modern JavaScript techniques (probably one
blathering about AJAX too)
