How do I pass links to a function?

Martin Honnen,

Write your function to receive one parameter, the link object
  function clickHandler (link) {
    alert(link.text ? link.text : link.innerText);
    return false;
  }
which you then call as 
  <A HREF="whatever.html"
     ONCLICK="return clickHandler(this)"
  >
Depending on what your function returns (false to cancel link, true to 
execute it), the link will be executed after the function was called.
