[Roderik]

What is preferable?

<a href="javascript:my_function();">hyperlink</a>

or

<a href="#" onClick="my_function();">hyperlink</a>

<a href="pageExplainingThatJavascriptIsNotEnabled.html"
onclick="my_function();return false">hyperlink</a>

Returning false from the onclick handler is important
to prevent the link from being followed. Even if the
link is "#", that will cause most browsers to jump to
the top of the current page.

Neither one is.
