      Description

      href="javascript: ..." is not a standardised protocol, and does not degrade gracefully with Javascript disabled, see:

      http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20041206/166888.html

      I'm about to commit this patch which uses <a href="#" onclick="...; return false"> – Return false is important - see here,
      http://cs.wellesley.edu/~cs110/examples/return.html

      Note, href="#" isn't ideal but it's an improvement!
