actually Martin, that is what Martin was doing.
href="javascript:function_name()"  calls to a js function.

my suggestion would be to write it this way.

<a href="#no_hash" onClick="YourFunction(xx)">text</a>

that way, if the client clicks the link/button before the page is done
downloading the page. it won't stop the page from finishing.  if you do it
the way you wrote below.  the page will stop downloading, including the
images that havn't finished.
