sorry for posting this again, but looks like my 2 cents got missed the first
time around! if for some reason you don't want to put your main javascript
code in the href, i've been able to get around the problems with href="#"
(specifically, reloading the page) by using a null javascript function for
the href attribute, like this:

href="javascript:;" onClick="etc. etc."
