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.
