[Javascript] href vs onclick

[Anthony Webster]

hi,

I always used to call my scripts like this:
<a href="#" onclick="myFunction();">click here</a>

but have recently found this is causing problems with IE5

the workaround has been to do this:
<a href="javascript:myFunction();">click here</a>

is this the correct way to call scripts or are both methods acceptable?

just wondering if I've been doing things wrong all this time,

thanks

anthony
