That's the most stupid method you could use. The right way:

Code:

<a href="destination-page.html" onclick="dosomething(); return false;">some link</a>

The return statement in the onclick action is the most important. If you have javascript, then the dosomething function will be executed, and that's it. If you don't have javascript, however, the browser will ignore the onclick attribute and follow the href attribute.
