Using <a href=””></a> links to call JavaScript functions can be a bit trickier than you might think. The issues that I’ve run into are generally Internet Explorer-specific (aren’t they all?). While troubleshooting these issues, I’ve discovered a syntax that seems to solve all of the problems:
<a href=”javascript:void(0)” onclick=”yourFunction();return false”>Click Here</a>
Hopefully this helps someone.
