How can I avoid the hourglass cursor staying around after someone hit a javascript: link?

Martin Honnen,

If you want to excute some javascript from a link it is for various 
reasions best to use the onclick handler and not the href:
  <A HREF="javascript: void 0"
     ONCLICK="your javascript code; return false;"
  >
That just excutes the onclick code but cancels the href which prevents 
unpleasant effect like the hourglass cursor staying around or the 
stopping of animated gifs.
