Hi Chris,
I've slightly altered your code to make it more robust, leak-free and
unobtrusive:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(evt) {
var e = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for( var i=0; i < e.length; i++ ) {
e[i].onclick = anchor_click; /*
easiest way to prevent memory leak issues
in MSIE is not to use a closure
for more info:
see the references at the end*/
}
};
function anchor_click(evt){
alert("you clicked me!");
//return true;/*no need*/
}
</script>
<body>
<a id="a" href="page2.php" >Click here and you'll go crazy/a><br />
<a id="b" href="link1.html" >Click here and you won't</a>
</body>

note:
I've not tested the code but it should work as expected.
HTH,
