We always used <a href="javascript:void(0) onClick="yourFunction()">, and I
have not encountered any issues with it at all. Generally I do that, then
call a validating function which at the end submits the form. For example:

if(yourFormName == ""){
alert("This field can not be blank");
yourFormName.focus();
}else{
document.yourForm.submit();
}

It's basically the same thing. I would have to agree that, for accesibility
purposes, it is better to use an image that looks like text, but that just
MHO. Hope it helps!
